The Moon Section 1-4

Moon’s Surface 1609: Italian Scientist Galileo, built his own telescope to observe the moon. He observed the following features: Maria: Dark areas on the Moon Craters: Round “Pits” Highlands: Mountains He observed that the highlands cast shadows

Features on the Moon Maria: Dark flat areas on the Moon Possible lava flows Craters: formed by meteorites that strike the Moon…….(pits) Highlands: Mountain ranges Moon Missions: July 1969 1st men on Moon. 12 men walked on the Moon 800 lbs of rocks Studied: moonquakes, heat flow, composition

Moon Facts Size: diameter of Moon = distance across the U.S. (1/4 the Earth’s diameter) Temperature: Day = 100 degrees C ( 212 F) Night = -170 degrees C (-270 F) Gravity: 1/6 the Gravity of Earth 180 lbs on earth = 30 lbs on the Moon Distance of the Moon= 250, 000 miles Mass = 1/8 earth Other: No Air, No Water, No magnetic field Formation: “ Collision theory”
