Every time when I look at the moon, I wish I could go there. Do you wish you could fly to the moon in a spaceship one day?
For hundreds of years, men have wanted to travel to the moon. When they looked at the moon, they asked many questions. Was the moon hot or cold? Were there any plants or other living things there? There were many, many other questions.
We know much about the moon now. Scientists have studied the moon for many years and have found out many facts. So far, some men have got to the moon on spaceships.
Scientists have found that the moon is much smaller than the earth. It is about one quarter the size of the earth. It is traveling round the earth all the time. There are not any plants or other living things on the moon, because there is no air or water there.
Days and nights on the moon are very long. One day on the moon is as long as two weeks on the earth. One night is also as long as two weeks on the earth. In the day the moon is very hot. At night it is very cold. The moon is much hotter and much colder than the earth.
There is another surprising thing. On the moon things are not as heavy as they are on the earth. Isn't that interesting? Perhaps one day we can all travel to the moon. It must be great fun.
