 The Moon moves around the Earth

A satellite is an object that moves around a planet or

a star. The Moon is a satellite because it moves around
the Earth. The Sun lights up the Moon, which looks as
if it is changing shape. These different shapes are called
the phases of the Moon.

day, and on the other side it is night. How long does
the Earth take to rotate once?
