understand more about space and especially the moon. In many of the manned and unmanned missions collected many rock samples. In this certain study they found that the moon had many magma rocks on the moon. This fact surprised many scientists because space is very cold (as we all know) and magma rocks are formed from extreme heat or pressure. The magma rocks were only found in certain parts of the moon and not in others. So we know that the whole moon was obviously not all formed by magma rocks.

The Earth experiences tides in its oceans‚ by gravitational interaction between the Earth‚ Moon and Sun. The Moon is the biggest factor of tides occurring. It has 2.2 more power on tides than the sun does. The Moon and earth apply a gravitational pull on each other‚ and since most things on earth is pinned down they stay in place. But‚ the oceans being fluid can be pulled toward the moon causing tides.And since the earth is rotating while this is happening‚ two tides occur each day. While the Sun

Moon today. The Earth keeps the Moon in orbit by its gravitational pull it sets onto it. The Moon is constantly spinning farther away from the Earth at a rate of approximately 3.78 centimeters per year. When the moon was closer to the planet‚ days were only five hours long‚ now‚ since the moon is slowly spinning away‚ the days get longer‚ meaning that the days are now 24 hours and will continue to slow down. Without the Moon‚ the Earth’s rotation could slow down‚ causing the planet to wobble slightly
