A natural satellite is a body in space which moves around a planet.<br />

<strong>The</strong> moon is our closest neighbour in space. It is the Earth’s only<br />

natural satellite.<br />

In 1969, astronauts landed on the moon. It was the first time that<br />

people had been to the moon. When Neil Armstrong stepped onto<br />

the moon, he said, ‘That’s one small step for [a] man, one giant leap<br />

for mankind’.<br />

On Earth, we always see the same side of the moon. If you look<br />

carefully, you can see light and dark parts. <strong>The</strong> higher, lighter areas<br />

have many craters.<br />

<strong>The</strong> moon has no atmosphere to protect it. This allows asteroids,<br />

comets and meteorites to crash onto its surface and make craters.<br />

<strong>The</strong>re is no air on the moon. Soundwaves need air to travel, so the<br />

moon is a silent place.<br />

<strong>The</strong> moon doesn’t belong to anyone. An agreement among the<br />

countries on Earth protects the moon. It says the moon can only be<br />

explored for peaceful activities.<br />
