The Moon

The moon has no atmosphere like Earth does. It doesn’t have wind, weather, or sunlight either. The temperatures that reach a high of 250 degrees Fahrenheit and a low of -451 degrees Fahrenheit also make it difficult for astronauts to explore there. This is why they need special suits to land on the moon.

Tides

Tides on Earth are caused because of the Moon’s gravitational pull. When the gravitational pull is stronger, there are higher tides. When it is weaker, there are lower tides.
