Fun facts about the moon:
The lunar month can be defined as the period between one full moon and the next. It is slightly longer than the time the moon takes to orbit the Earth. This is because the Earth is also moving. As I wrote before, we can only see one side of the moon, and the other side is always turned away from Earth. That side is called the dark side of the moon. The dark side is not visible because the moon spins around on its own axis at exactly the same rate or speed that it orbits the Earth.
