Lunar Puzzlers
Here are all the facts you'll need to figure out the answers to the four lunar puzzlers below.
- It takes the moon 29.5 days to go from one full moon to the next.
- It takes the Earth 365.256 days to orbit the Sun.
- From Earth, you can never see the far side of the moon; in other words, the "man on the moon"
always faces the Earth, no matter if the moon is full, quarter, or new.
