Moon



WOW..you guys have worked really well today, Congratulations. Mrs Walsh  Welcome to the Moon! ==Man landed on the Moon in 1969. That makes this year the 40th Anniversary of the Moon Landing. The largest crater in the Solar System is on the moon, it is half as big as the USA. If you could drive a car to the moon, it would take 4 months to get there, what a trip! The moon has no atmosphere, so if you went to the moon you would still see Neil Armstrong's foot print. Satellites are **man made** objects thats orbit around planets, however, the moon is Earth's a **natural** satellite because it is not man made. ==
