1000708 About the Moon

About the Moon
By Max
     If you notice the sky every night, you would see the moon. Every night, the moon would appear in the sky, but sometimes it is round, sometimes it is curve-shaped, and sometimes it won’t appear. Because the sun reflects sunlight to the moon, and it let the moon shine on some parts of the moon. So that’s why you can see a round moon in the 15th day on every lunar month.
     When we see the moon on Earth, it looks like a ball. But actually, when one day you step on the Moon, you can see many craters on the surface. Because many meteorites and some small rocks from space would hit the moon, but there’s no sound. Because of the craters, some Taiwanese people would say there’s a rabbit on the moon when it’s a full moon.
     A Chinese holiday called Moon Festival is also related to the moon. At August 15th in the lunar calendar, we would eat barbecue and eat some pomelos and moon cakes. Finally, we would see the full moon above the sky. Even I think Moon Festival is only like eating foods in the festival, but I think it is very fun.
     Because the moon is a close planet from us, so we should learn more from the moon. There is other many things from our lives are related to the moon too!
