The Earth's Moon

🀍 The Moon La Lune La Luna πŸ–€

Amongst 460 natural satellites in the solar system, The Moon, is man's age old companion and guiding compass seen on our night sky.

The Moon makes Earth more livable due to it controlling our planets orbiting on its axis. It in turn controls our sea tides, a really cool mechanism that has influenced human behaviour for thousands of years.

Moon Phases πŸŒ™

As the Moon orbits Earth, different parts are in sunlight or darkness at different times. The changing illumination is why, from our perspective, the Moon goes through phases.
The cycle of illumination occurs once a month and is illustrated below.
