Facts About The Moon (Source Wikipedia) For Kids

Enjoy reading a Wikipedia gist blurb about the phases of the Moon. Make sure to watch the slide show that shows us what these phases look like from Earth. Interesting tidbit – when we see half of the Moon from Earth, it is really a quarter-moon. Half of the moon is facing away from the Earth, and we see half of what is visible. Similarly, what we call a full moon means all of the side that is facing the Earth is visible.
