    The document discusses the moon, including folklore, its origin from collisions according to the collision theory, and how it gets its light from the sun by reflecting it like a mirror. It also describes the phases of the moon and how the moon changes phases as its illuminated portion grows and shrinks over the lunar cycle due to its rotation around Earth.

    THE MOON.

    Moon folklore
    The Werewolf Lots of Babies Bad things can happen

    Epileptic seizures

    Man in Space.

    Many planets have moons.

    Moons: Objects caught by the gravitational pull of a planet. Where did these objects come from? These objects then rotate around that planet as the planet spins.

    COLLISION THEORY

    Comets

    Meteorites
    Now that we know where the objects could have come from, what is this gravity that pulls them in.

    Gravity: The attraction of a smaller object to a larger one.


    Example: A large truck passing you on the freeway.

    Where does the moon get its light?

    Do moon Rocks Glow?

    It actually gets its light from the sun.


    How Does it do that? Just like a mirror.
