The Moonmedia type="custom" key="3155974". The moon appears bigger than the stars, is it? No, the [|moon] is not bigger than the stars. It appears bigger than the stars because it is closer to earth than all the other [|stars]. The moon orbits the earth just as the earth orbits the sun. The moon is actually smaller than most of the stars we see at night.The moon orbits the sun too, because if the moon orbits the earth and the earth orbits the sun then the moon orbits the sun too. Asteroids Hit The moon Have asteroids ever hit the moon? Yes, asteroids have hit the moon before. We know [|asteroids] have hit the moon because the moon has craters on it.[|Craters] are like bowls asteroids left when they hit the moon. Some craters are bigger than others, they are different because, different size ateroids have hit the moon. That is how we know that asteroids have hit the moon.

Gravity. What is gravity? How does gravity work ? [|Gravity] is a force that holds you to earth. A good example of gravity is, gravity is what causes earth to orbit the sun beacuse the sun's gravity pulls earth to the sun which causes earth to orbit the sun. Gravity is why you are able to stay on the ground without floating around. In [|space], there is very little gravity which is why you float around. That is what gravity is. Eclipse What is an [|eclipse]? There are 2 different types of eclipses. A [|lunar eclipse] is when the moon is blocked from the sun by the earth. A [|solar eclipse] is when the sun is blocked from the earth by the moon. Lunar eclipses happen every six months.You can have between 2 and 5 solar eclipses per year. It is impossible to have fewer than two, or more than five.That is what an eclipse is. Black holes What is a black hole? A[|black hole] is an object with gravity so strong that escaping its field is almost impossible because you have to go faster than the [|speed of light] in order to get out of ones gravity.Black holes form when a [|star] explodes and goes supernova. While some things reflect light, black holes absorb light so it is pitch black inside which is why it is called a black hole. That is what a black hole is.

The sun's gravity Does the[|sun] have gravity? Yes,the sun has a lot of gravity. Space has gravity too, but it has very little gravity, that is why you float around in space.Its the sun's gravity that causes earth to orbit it. It does this because the sun is pulling [|earth] towards it while it is pulling away.That is some info about the sun.

Do we have an [|ozone] hole? Yes, there is a hole in the ozone. The ozone is in the [|stratosphere]. It protects us from the sun's harmful rays. Because of the hole in the ozone, it is harder to stay outside for a long period of time. The hole in the ozne is growing and we are trying to find out what is causing this to happen.That is the info so far on the hole in the ozone.
