The Moon, of course, has been known since prehistoric times. It is the second brightest object in the sky after the Sun. As the Moon orbits around the Earth once per month, the angle between the Earth, the Moon and the Sun changes; we see this as the cycle of the Moon's phases. The time between successive new moons is 29.5 days (709 hours), slightly different from the Moon's orbital period (measured against the stars) since the Earth moves a significant distance in its orbit around the Sun in that

changed the life of these dinosaures. Just a few miles away from earth a fight started between two planets called ‘Sun’ and “Moon’. The argument was about who would shine more light on earth. The argument went to the point where they started to shoot fireballs at the moon and then the moon started to throw rocks at the sun. During the fight one the fireballs misses it's target (moon) and made its was towards the earth but “apparently” there was space ship traveling the universe full of aliens and the

the year 1969 was the first moon landing and the people touching the surface were from the U.S., astronauts Michael Collins, Edwin E. (Buzz) Aldrin, Jr., and Neil A. Armstrong, Neil was THE first human to touch the moon’s surface. “A Tribute to Neil Alden Armstrong” ,written by Terrell Martin, was a poem about the first landing on the moon, and what different people’s opinions were on it.

This makes the reader feel like the story of the poem is told directly to them, which involves them emotionally. However they vary in that of structure. Their structures are based on the

The difference between a Lunar and a Solar calendar is that the Lunar year is calculated by the movement of the moon around the earth and a Solar calendar tracks the movement of the Earth around the sun. Because of the movements are never in sync, there will always be a difference between both calendars. A Solar year consists of 365 day aprox and the Lunar year is of approximately 354 days, having a difference between both of 11 days. This gap or difference is called an epac. So over 33 years,

Mercury Surface Mercury is a rocky planet and its surface is full with/of craters and is littered with boulders and pulverized dust. The planet has no day/night atmosphere and this causes temperature swings. The temperatures can range from 90K to 700K. the surface has been inactive , or dead, for approx billions of years. Although this planet is the closest to the sun , some dark places have ice water. It is also the planet with the smallest surface area but it is the most dense. The core account

There are many types of short stories. Some are funny, some are serious, some have very different characters, some have different settings, and most have different endings.
