What if other planets in our solar system took the place of the moon? The moon is Earth’s closest cosmic neighbor and its only natural satellite. It likely formed when a massive object the size of Mars hit our planet billions of years ago. That catastrophe turned Earth into a burning ball of molten rock. It also pushed some material into its orbit, creating the moon. This heavily cratered ball moves around our planet. This causes tides to ebb and flow around the globe. The moon is a little over a quarter the size of Earth and is the fifth largest natural satellite in the solar system. No matter what it looks like, you can always find it in the night sky, and sometimes even during the day. But imagine waking up in the middle of the night and noticing that the Moon looks a bit different than usual... #brightside TIME: Mercury 0:54 Venus 1:55 Mars 3:04 Jupiter 4:26 Saturn 5:38 Uranus and Neptune 7:01 Sun 8:36 Bright Side / bright-side-104251721126053 Music: Epidemic Sound https://www.epidemicsound.com/ The materials used (photos, videos and more) come from: https://www.depositphotos.com https://www.shutterstock.com https://www.eastnews.ru ___________________ Subscribe to the Bright Side https://bit.ly/2n9VrJj
