F F The moon’s rotation is ‘insynch” with Earth’s rotation …meaning the same ‘face’ of the moon is always ‘facing’ Earth! Really! The moon takes 27 days, 7 hours, 43 minutes, 11.6 seconds to go around Earth.

3. The man in the moon isn’t a man after all…. FThe moon reflects the light of the sun. If the Sun wasn’t there, we wouldn’t be able to see the Moon.
