EXPLORING OUR PASTSECURING OUR FUTURE All About Craters For Team Members The goal of this acx00740069vity is to provide team members with a 2045 minute acx00740069vity to do in a formal schoo. This is called an orbit The same side of the Moon always faces the Earth It takes one month for the Moon to go around the Earth The Moon is a little more than 200000 miles from the Earth It is about the size of the Earth That means the Earth is fou Background also see Teachers Guide Pages 1 2 photo on 8 12 and photo on 13 The circular features so obvious on the Moons surface are impact craters formed when impactors smashed into the surface The explosion and excavation of materials at the impac Made by: Grace Taggart.
