About This Quote
It is a beautiful and delightful sight to behold the body of the Moon. If you could see the moon from a distance, you would be amazed at how beautiful it is. It would appear as a pretty large round disk, with a crescent shape at one end and a circle at the other. The moon has an interesting shape that keeps on changing.
If you look carefully, you will see that the moon moves around its orbit in less than 24 hours. When it reaches its closest point to Earth, it will be about 30 degrees high in the sky. When it moves past its farthest point, it will be about 30 degrees low in the sky.
The moon has an oblong shape which means that it is not round like our Earth.
