Task
1.
Moon
Though a satellite of Earth, the Moon is biger (bigger) than Pluto. Some scientists think
of it as a planet (four other moons in our solar system are even bigger). There
is (are) various
theories about how the Moon were
(was) created, but recent evidence indicates it formed when a huge collision
tore a chunk of the Earth away. Because it takes 27.3 days both to rotate on
its axis and to orbit Earth, the Moon always shows us the same face.
We see the Moon because of reflected sunlight. How much of it we watch (see) depends on
its position in relation to Earth and the Sun.
The 27.3-day number is what 8) scientologists (scientists) call a sidereal month, and it is how
long it takes the Moon to dirol
(orbit) the Earth in relation to a fixed star. Another measurement, called a
synodic month, is measured between in relation to the San (Sun) and equals 29.5 days. Full moons
and new moon are measured by the synodic month.
Earth's gravity keeps the Moon in orbit, while the Moon's gravity creates
tides on our okeans
(oceans).
Like the four inner planets, the Moon is rocky. It's pockmarked with
craters formed by asteroid impacts millions of years ago. Because there is no weather,
the craters have not erode
(eroded).
The Moon has almost no hsemaeptor
(atmosphere), so a layer of dust - or a footprint - can sit undisturbed for
centuries. End (And)
without an atmosphere, heat is not held near the planet, so temperatures vary
wildly. Daytime temperatures on the sunny side of the Moon reach 273 degrees F;
on the dark side it gets as cold as -243. In June of 1999, researchers discover (discovered) by
accident that a huge cloud of sodium gas trails behind the Moon. The Lunar
Prospector in 1998 provided evidence of ice near the Moon's poles, perhaps as many (much) as 6 billion
tons of it.
The Moon travels around the Earth at a little more than haf (half) a mile per
second; its speed is slowing and the satellite is gradually moving away from Earth.
