PART B: READING

The moon is the second brightest object in the sky after the sun. It is the onlv natural satellite of the
Earth and orbits around it. It has a diameter of about 3,476 kilometers and has many craters on its surface.
These were formed by meteor crashes millions of years ago. It takes the moon 27.3 days to make one
orbit around the earth and the same period of time to complete one rotation on its axis.
The moon is the only celestial body that has been visited by human beings. One reason is that the
moon is much closer to the earth than the other planets; it is estimated that the moon is about 24,000
miles from the earth. We can create gravitational forces between the earth and the moon cause some
interesting effects. The most obvious is the tides. Under the gravitational effect of the moon, the water in
the earth's oceans, as they are fluid, is pulled toward the moon. This cause tides when the level of the sea
rises and falls.
