3 天之前 · Earth’s Moon: Overview. The Moon makes Earth more livable by moderating our home planet’s wobble on its axis, leading to a relatively stable climate. It also causes tides, creating a rhythm that has guided humans for thousands of years. The Moon rotates exactly once each time it orbits our planet.

2025年1月17日 · The eight lunar phases are, in order: new moon, waxing crescent, first quarter, waxing gibbous, full moon, waning gibbous, third quarter, and waning crescent. The cycle repeats once a month (every 29.5 days).

2024年12月3日 · Scientists have discovered that water is being released from the Moon during meteor showers. NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center. Scientists also found the lunar surface releases its water when the Moon is bombarded by micrometeoroids. The surface is protected by a layer, a few centimeters of dry soil that can only be breached by large ...

4 天之前 · What is the Moon’s Atmosphere Made Of? The lunar exosphere is almost entirely made up of helium, neon, and argon, with trace amounts of other elements.Hydrogen molecules make up a tiny fraction of the lunar exosphere, but are a topic of serious scientific interest, partly because hydrogen is one of the chemical ingredients in water.. Sodium is another scarce but heavily-studied element in ...
