What Is The Moon? | The Earth's Moon Song

Here's how to talk to your child about it

You learned that the moon is Earth's natural satellite, it rotates at the same speed as Earth, and it's a source of light. It was formed billions of years ago and has no air or sound.
Some activities you can do with your child now

- Take your child outside at night to look at the moon and point out its gray and white appearance. - Discuss the concept of tides with your child and explain how the moon's gravitational pull creates them. - Explore more about space and astronomy with your child by reading books or watching educational videos together. - Encourage your child to draw or create their own artwork of the moon to further engage their creativity and understanding.
