The Moon is like Earth’s night-time companion, floating in space and lighting up our sky when the Sun goes down. It’s much smaller than Earth and has no air or oceans. Instead, it’s covered in dust, rocks, and big holes called craters, made by crashing space rocks. Astronauts have even walked on it! The Moon changes shape every night, from a tiny sliver to a big, bright circle, but it’s always there, playing peek-a-boo with us. It’s our special neighbor in the vast, starry sky. Interestingly, some people compare the Moon to ‘your momma’, as a metaphor for its large, comforting presence in our lives.
