Moons and Natural Satellites

No. The Apollo astronauts left instruments to measure the temperature deep below the surface of the moon. All readings indicate a cold moon. The Apollo 17 astronauts found volcanic material, indicating that the moon was hot when it formed, but quickly cooled.

The fastest is Mercury.

The moon is Earth's closest neighbor in space and the only natural object to orbit it. Counting it in "planets away from Earth" does not make any sense as the planets revolve around the sun, not Earth.

They had space suits which protected them from both the lack of atmosphere and the harsh cold and heat changes.
Well, depends which moon. The moon of Earth is full of magical substances that allow astronauts to thrive happily. Some even believe that the moon is made of cheese, and there is marijuana on the poles.

It keeps moving. If you need to calculate the exact direction to the Moon, you'll need to know the time and your location.

There's a planetarium program called "Stellarium" which you can download for free, and it will show you where everything in the sky is, for any date or location.

Nothing happens to the other side of the Moon in half moon days. The reason we do not see the whole Moon is because only half of it is reflecting the light from the Sun.

NO. That's a misconception.

Only the half of the Moon that is facing the Sun at any particular time is sunlit.

We see varying amounts of that hemisphere as the Moon orbits Earth.

That is the cause of the Moon's phases.

Mars has two known moons.
Jupiter has almost 70 of them.

Armstrong traveled with Buzz Aldrin and Michael Collins. Aldrin went with Armstrong to the lunar surface. Collins remained in the command module in orbit around the moon.

Why they celebrate the Moon Festival is the equivalent to the reasoning behind Americans celebrating Thanksgiving. This festival is known as a tradition amongst the Chinese culture.

No it isn't. That's why they call it the farside of the moon.

No moons in our solar system have moons of their own, but it's theoretically possible.

Mostly footprints. After becoming the first man to walk on the moon, BuzzAldrin handed down a bag of trash, which Neil Armstrong took and threw under the lunar module. Armstrong's first photo of the lunar surface shows the bag lying on the surface.

The scientific experiments were all put in place by Aldrin. Armstrong's main job (besides landing the Lunar Module) was to gather samples for return to earth and document (photograph) the setup of the scientific experiments that Aldrin put there.

yes

Earth does have a dark side. When you are on that dark side it is called night. Both Earth and the moon get their light from the sun. Since they are both spherical and there is only one sun in our solar system, the sun can only light up half of each object at a time.

Asteroids orbit the sun. Moons orbit planets and planets orbit the sun. So you could say the moons orbit the sun. However, moons are kept in their orbits by the gravity of their planet and planets are kept in orbit by the gravity of the sun. So in that sense, moons do not orbit the sun.

Because the moon's gravity pulls the water towards it. It bulges out in the middle of the ocean, which sucks the water from its outer edges (the shoreline).

If you look at the photos of the flag on the moon, you'll noitce the top of the flag has a rod in it to hold it up and make it look like its flying in the breeze. The Apollo 12 astronauts could not get the top bar to latch. It is the only one that hangs down. The other 5 flags all worked as they were designed.

about approximately 9 WHOLE years!

An object on the surface of the moon weighs about 1/6 as much
as it weighs on the surface of the Earth.

It orbits (revolves around) Jupiter with a period of about 3.55 days.

one of them is the sun

Two things. First and foremost, the sun shining off the lunar surface. We can also see into the dark side of the moon because the earth reflects so much of the sun's light back into space that it lights up the shadows.

Yes it can, and it does. The moon rotates once every revolution, which is how we only see one side of the moon.

No. The Russians have sent unmanned probes, but the only manned missions to the moon were American.
