The moon shines because it is a satellite of the earth, but it is not a star like the sun, so the moon itself does not shine. But you can see the moon at night, first of all, because it is closer to the earth. In this case, when the sun shines on the moon, the moon can reflect the sun, and part of the reflected light can reach the surface of the earth and be seen by people. In addition, the moon is close to the earth and easy to observe. In addition, because the air on the surface of the moon is thin, sunlight is not easily absorbed when it hits the moon, so it receives more light. In this case, we can also reflect sunlight as much as possible. Although the moon itself does not emit light, and a lot of light energy is lost in the process, people can still see the light of the moon.
Exploring the moon is of great significance. In fact, in the early space flight, people first explored the moon. After all, the moon is a very beautiful planet, and it is also called the satellite of the earth. The moon has also brought many beautiful reverie to people. In the process of exploring the moon, we can understand the changing process of this planet by collecting and analyzing the soil of the moon, and understand why the moon has become a satellite of the earth. Moreover, these soils are of great value and significance to human beings on earth, which may create new materials and contribute to the development of human civilization. So to explore the moon, China also launched a lunar rover. I believe that more people will know the secret of the moon and understand its growth law.
