Did You Know? A child who weighs 28kg on
Earth would weigh less than 5kg’s on the moon. The gravitational pull of the
moon can cause the North American continent to rise 15 cm when the moon is
above it. The moon’s gravity is one
sixth of the earth’s gravity, so people can jump six times higher on the moon
than on the earth. The moon travels around the
earth at 3680 km/h No one is certain how the moon
was formed. Astronomers believe that the Earth collided with some kind of
body, the size of Mars. From the collision material heated up and was flung
into space to later become the moon. Galileo invented a telescope
with which he saw mountains on the moon and also said that the Earth moves
and the sun stands still and because of this he was put under house arrest
for the rest of his life. |
