Days to the Moon
Open to everyone until Saturday, October 3
To keep it, print it while it is open.
The Moon looks close in the sky, much closer than the planets. Even so, a rocket needs several days to fly there.
Examples
- A car can cross a city in an hour, but a rocket to the Moon takes days.
- A bird can fly high above us, but it cannot reach the Moon.
Key takeaways
- The Moon is Earth’s nearest neighbour in space.
- Even the nearest space trip takes days, not minutes.
