Lunar science

Lunar Surface Processes Complex alterations of the lunar surface occur, despite the fact that lunar processes are much less varied and dynamic than those of the Earth. The most important source of lunar surface alteration, at least over the last three billion years, is evidenced by the Moon’s heavily pocked and cratered surface. The Moon is continuously bombarded by external objects ranging in size from small specks of dust to giant bodies tens of kilometers in diameter. These impacts are governed

Similar to this, in the 1500s, when Copernicus discovered that the earth was not

shadow of seven degrees. If the Earth were flat, this observation would’ve been hard to understand. But if the Earth were round, Eratosthenes reasoned, you could use this information to figure out the Earth’s circumference. [16] Another way in which science knows the Earth is flat was when Christopher Columbus sailed to North America in 1492. Columbus thought the Earth was round and gave proof that when

calculated based on the sun’s motions, whereas lunar years are mutually based on the moons motions. A lunar year consists of approximately 354 days, whereas there are 365 days in solar year. By virtue of the eleven day disparity between a solar and lunar year, an additional month is added to the lunar calendar every three years, and as for the solar calendar, every fourth year, a leap day is added to the month of February. A lunar year is comprised of twelve lunar months, which corresponds to the time that
