Our Natural Satellite - Moon

Exploration and History

1. Who was the first person to walk on the Moon, and how did they get there?

- Neil Armstrong was the first person to walk on the Moon in 1969. He traveled aboard Apollo 11, a

spacecraft launched by NASA.

2. Why haven't we built a base on the Moon yet?

- Building a base on the Moon requires advanced technology, significant funding, and overcoming

challenges such as lack of resources, extreme temperatures, and radiation.

Science and Phenomena

1. Why does the Moon appear to change shape (phases) during the month?

- The Moon's phases are caused by its orbit around Earth and the changing angles of sunlight

illuminating its surface.

2. What would happen if there were no Moon orbiting Earth?

- Without the Moon, Earth's tides would be weaker, nights would be darker, and Earth's axial tilt

might become unstable over time.

Mythology and Culture

1. What are some myths or legends about the Moon from different cultures?

- In many cultures, the Moon is associated with gods, spirits, and myths. For example, in Greek

mythology, Artemis is the goddess of the Moon.

2. Why do some people call a second full Moon in a month a "Blue Moon"?
- A "Blue Moon" is a rare event when two full moons occur in a single calendar month.

Future Possibilities

1. Could humans live on the Moon in the future, and what would they need to survive?

- Humans would need habitats with oxygen, water recycling systems, and protection from radiation

to survive on the Moon.

2. How might mining the Moon for resources help us on Earth?

- Mining the Moon for resources like helium-3 could help provide energy on Earth and support

further space exploration.

Fun and Thought-Provoking

1. How long would it take to walk all the way around the Moon?

- Walking around the Moon (10,921 km circumference) would take months, depending on the

speed and breaks.

2. If you jumped on the Moon, how high could you go compared to Earth?

- You could jump about six times higher on the Moon due to its lower gravity.

International Space Station (ISS)

1. How do astronauts get enough oxygen to breathe on the ISS?

- Oxygen is generated on the ISS using electrolysis, which splits water into hydrogen and oxygen.

2. What happens to waste on the ISS? How is it managed?

- Waste is stored in special containers and sent back to Earth in cargo ships to burn up in the

atmosphere.
3. What happens if there is a fire or an air leak on the ISS?

- Astronauts follow emergency protocols, use safety equipment, and isolate affected sections to

control the situation.
