Have you ever seen the man in the moon? If you look closely at the moon on some nights, you can see the face of the man in the moon. Some people say that they can see an old man carrying sticks.       These pictures are made by the mountains and plains of the moon.
Long ago people in England used to tell their children that the moon was made of green cheese.         The moon is a large round rock. It is completely bare. There are no trees or plants on the moon. There are no rivers or seas. There are no living things. It never rains on the moon, and everything is covered with dirty, white dust.            
When the sun shines on it, the moon is very hot, in the shade, however, it is as cold as ice.         It does not weigh as much as the earth. If you went to the moon, you would weigh six times less than you do now.
