Understanding the Moon's Characteristics

The video introduces the Moon, its distance from Earth, and its orbit. It explains how the Moon reflects sunlight and describes the different phases of the Moon, such as new moon, full moon, and crescent moon. The video also covers the Moon's revolution around Earth and its rotation on its axis, explaining why we only see one side of the Moon. An experiment is suggested to help understand these concepts, concluding with a summary of the Moon's characteristics.
