ALL OF THIS IS TO SAY: Yes, climate change is a REAL problem, and one that isn’t worth ignoring simply because you don’t feel like separating your recycling. So maybe it’s worth putting in a little effort, just on the off-chance it helps to save the planet (and us?) Or, maybe that’s just me…
3.5: The Moon
THE MOON IS A SATELLITE OF EARTH IN ORBIT AROUND OUR PLANET AND IS ABOUT 384,000KM (239,000 MILES) AWAY.
Its official name is simply just the Moon, which might not sound very imaginative, but bear in mind that it was named at a time when nobody knew that any other moons existed. It wasn’t until 1610 when Galileo discovered four moons orbiting around Jupiter that people figured it was worth giving them proper names to distinguish them from one another. Unfortunately, our Moon never got that treatment (although you can refer to it by its Latin name, Luna, if you so please).
Arguably the most important fact about the Moon though is that if it didn’t exist… you wouldn’t be reading this book today!
