FACTS ABOUT THE MOON

To us, the moon appears to be very large. Actually the moon is much smaller than the sun and the stars. However, because the moon is closer to our earth than any other star or planet, it seems larger.
The moon is really quite far from us. Even if we could go to the moon in a rocket travelling five thousand miles an hour, it would take us about forty – eight hours to get there!
Once we arrived on the moon, we would find that it grows extremely hot in the daytime and extremely cold at night. This is because the moon has no air to protect it. The air around our planet protects it from the sun’s rays and also keeps it from losing too much heat.
In 1969, two men set the first foot on the moon and saw exactly what things are like there. We now know that on the moon we cannot find free water in lakes and streams. Because of the lack of air and water on our moon, we can’t expect to see animals and plants as we know them on the earth.

( Answer the questions:

A) True or False:
1) ............ The moon seems larger than the sun and the stars because it is closer to our earth.
2) ............ It would take us 48 hours to get to the moon by air.
3) ............ The moon is protected by air.
4) ............ The moon grows extremely cold at night.
