00:0-1	when you go to sleep at night resting well after
00:02	another exciting day . There is this bright , amazing
00:07	thing in the sky . It looks a lot bigger
00:09	to us than the stars and is almost like Earth's
00:13	nightlight . We are going to learn about that incredible
00:16	thing that we see at night called the moon .
00:20	We call it the moon because it is our moon
00:22	. Earth only has one moon , which is different
00:26	than many other planets in our solar system alone .
00:29	There are over 200 moons . Isn't that incredible In
00:33	our solar system alone . There are over 200 moons
00:38	. But out of all these moons , our moon
00:42	is the most special to us and we hope you'll
00:45	see just how awesome it truly is . As we
00:48	learn about our little friend in the solar system ,
00:52	the moon . It's interesting . The moon really is
00:56	our little friend in the solar system . The moon
00:59	is always there for us and we are always there
01:02	for the moon . Love your body . You see
01:06	the moon orbits Earth , meaning it goes around and
01:10	around our planet . It's almost like the moon is
01:13	playing a game with the Earth . It's almost like
01:15	a carousel going around and around and around . The
01:19	moon continually orbits Earth . Things that orbit our planet
01:26	that go around and around and around the Earth are
01:30	called satellites , satellites . Anything that orbits our planet
01:35	is a satellite . The moon is a natural satellite
01:39	. It's an object we did not create that orbits
01:43	our planet . The moon is a natural satellite .
01:46	Isn't that cool ? Here is an example of an
01:49	artificial satellite . It is something people made that orbits
01:53	Earth . They cost hundreds of millions of dollars to
01:57	make and can do all kinds of awesome things in
02:00	space . But this video isn't about artificial satellites ,
02:06	right ? It's about Earth's largest natural satellite . Yeah
02:11	, the moon , the moon is the Earth's largest
02:14	natural satellite . here is another interesting fact about the
02:19	moon . The moon is made of rock and metal
02:23	just like the Earth is . That's right . The
02:26	moon is made of rock and metal . You may
02:31	have heard someone say that the moon is made up
02:33	of something else , something more silly for hundreds of
02:38	years . People have joked that the moon is made
02:41	of cheese , but that's just a funny silly thing
02:44	. People have joked about . And even if it
02:48	was made of cheese , what if it went bad
02:51	the smell ? How would you feel if the moon
02:55	was made of cheese ? Okay , so the moon
03:02	isn't made of cheese ? The moon is made of
03:05	rock and metal just like the Earth is , Hey
03:10	, would you like to find out just how fast
03:12	the moon is moving right now because the moon is
03:15	always orbiting Earth ? But how fast ? Check this
03:21	out . The moon goes over one mile every two
03:26	seconds . That's over half a mile a second .
03:29	That's crazy fast . The moon , this massive natural
03:33	satellite made of rock and metal is going over a
03:37	mile every two seconds . Let's count one to another
03:42	mile . Hey , another one . The moon is
03:48	moving so fast . It only takes about 27 days
03:52	for the moon to completely orbit Earth who don't get
03:56	in the moon's way . Right . We've learned so
03:59	much already . Let's review what we've learned about the
04:01	moon . Okay . That's definitely a fake shooting star
04:06	. Did we really need to add that ? It
04:09	did look cool though . There are over 200 moons
04:13	in our solar system . Earth only has one moon
04:18	. We call it the moon . Which makes sense
04:20	. The moon is a natural satellite , satellites are
04:24	things that orbits earth . It orbits pretty quickly .
04:29	The moon goes one mile every two seconds . Okay
04:34	, stop the music stopped the music . We're all
04:37	going to go to sleep with this music gone .
04:40	We need something more upbeat . We're talking about how
04:43	fast the moon is . It's cool . It's exciting
04:47	. Okay . Yes . This is more like it
04:52	. Let's talk about how fast the moon is again
04:55	. But with this fancy music , the moon goes
04:58	one mile every two seconds . The moon is so
05:04	fast . It only takes about 27 days for the
05:09	moon to completely orbit Earth , wow . And we
05:13	learned like the Earth , the moon is made of
05:17	rock and metal . That'll work , wow . What
05:23	a review . What a review . Alright , now
05:27	it's time to solve a mystery . Are you ready
05:32	? Okay , so let's look at this footage .
05:35	What color is the moon ? Yeah , it's like
05:38	this yellowish color . Now look at this footage ,
05:42	it's white but then it kind of turns gray and
05:45	then white again and gray . It's like this whitish
05:47	gray . Same moon , right . Same moon .
05:51	Different colours though . Well one thing's for sure .
05:54	The moon itself doesn't change color . The moon is
05:57	always gray when Neil armstrong became the first person to
06:01	walk on the moon . It was gray , It
06:04	is still gray . The moon itself doesn't change color
06:09	. So why does the moon appear in different colours
06:12	to us here on earth ? The biggest reason is
06:15	because of our atmosphere which is made up of all
06:19	of the gases that surround our planet . When we
06:22	look into space , we are looking through all of
06:24	the surrounding gases which can change what things look like
06:28	. That's why the moon can look like it is
06:30	changing colors to us . Okay now we come to
06:36	a very important fact about the moon . The moon
06:38	doesn't make its own light . It reflects the light
06:41	of the sun . Let's say that again , The
06:44	moon doesn't make its own light . It reflects the
06:47	light of the sun . Mhm This makes sense because
06:52	remember the moon is made of rock and metal which
06:56	aren't able to produce their own light . No one
07:00	picks up a rock and says who I'm going to
07:03	use this as a flashlight because the rock doesn't make
07:07	light . But that same rock , if the light
07:10	shining on it is bright enough will reflect light .
07:14	That's what the moon does . The moon reflects the
07:20	light from the sun . Now this is cool .
07:25	Have you ever wondered why sometimes the moon is a
07:28	full circle and sometimes it's almost like it isn't even
07:31	there , it's like the amount of light the moon
07:34	is reflecting changes . Well , we would like to
07:39	show you the eight phases of the moon . These
07:42	phases are the reason the moon can look different throughout
07:46	the month eight phases . How can we remember that
07:49	? The moon has eight phases . The moon has
07:57	eight phases . Okay , it takes a month for
08:03	the moon to go through all eight phases and then
08:07	it starts all over again . So in a month's
08:09	time you can see all eight phases of the moon
08:14	. If you would like to learn more about the
08:17	eight phases of the moon , we are in the
08:19	process of making that video , it should come out
08:22	shortly . How cool is that ? There are a
08:24	lot of amazing things to learn about the faces of
08:26	the moon . That's why we are going to dedicate
08:29	a whole video to the topic . Wow . The
08:34	moon is a natural satellite made of rock and metal
08:38	that completely orbits earth every 27 days . It doesn't
08:42	make light but reflects the light of the sun .
08:47	How much light the moon reflects can change depending on
08:50	what phase it is in . There are eight phases
08:53	of the moon . It takes the moon a month
08:56	to go through all eight phases . And if you
09:00	ever look into the sky and see a red moon
09:04	or a yellow moon , remember our atmosphere can change
09:07	the appearance of the moon , but the moon itself
09:11	never changes color . It is always gray . Well
09:16	, that's our little friend in the solar system .
09:19	The moon . There are over 200 moons in our
09:23	solar system , but the moon is ours . We'll
09:26	see tonight buddy . Special thanks to our patrons .
