The beautiful light of the glorious moon

The moon does not shine on its own light because it shines from the reflection of the sun. The moon is luminous (glowing) in the the dark because the moon is closer to earth than the sun.

At night time, the moon is not hidden from the sun and that is how it could be seen most of the time. When it is day time, the moon isn’t clearly visible in the sky but much more visible at night time and that is how we get to enjoy and appreciate the beauty of the moon.

The moon is important because it is the only planet that lights up the darkness of earth during night time. It is also a planet that men have landed on. The moon revolves the earth every month. There are eight faces of the moon : new moon (invisible), crescent moon (waxing), half moon (first quarter), gibbous moon (waxing), crescent moon (old moon), half moon (last quarter), gibbous moon (slowly starting to lose light) and full moon.
