This diagram shows what happens to the moon. It shows the waxing and waning moon cycle. The waxing moon means the moon looks bigger each night. And the waning moon means it looks smaller. The full moon is when we see all of the moon's surface reflecting off the sun and the new moon we can't see it looks like a dark circle. It's always the same but keeps changing. It takes the moon almost 28 days to go around Earth. During this time, it looks at us as if the moon is changing shape.

The sun brings day and night and this is how.
The sun isn't moving Earth is and it takes 24 hours for the Earth to spin all the way around. That's one day. When the sun is on the other side of the Earth from us, there's no light, that's why it's night where we live and day in countries such as Europe and Africa.

Night Light.

-The moon is actually quite small. The moon's diameter is 3,476 kilometers. That's over twice the length of New Zealand. But the moon is four times smaller than the Earth and four million times smaller than the sun.
-The moon is moving away from Earth about 4 centimeters a year. As it leaves us the moon will appear smaller, and in a few billion years the moon will just look like just a normal star in the sky.
-Scientists think that 4 billion years ago another planet hit Earth. There was a huge explosion and the other planet was destroyed. And bits of Earth was blown into space. Some of these pieces came out to form the moon.

Cool Facts about a Hot Place.

-A cool fact is that the sun is way bigger than the earth. So if you put earth into the sun each second it will take nearly 12 days to full up!
-The nearest star to us after the sun is one of the two Pointers which are near the Southern Cross. The star is called the Alpha Centauri, and it is more than 250,000 times further away from us than the sun.
-If the sun was that far away it would look like an ordinary star, but the earth wouldn't have enough warmth so there would be no life on our planet.
-The sun is actually quite small. Well its huge compared to the earth but there are heaps of stars bigger than the sun. Some are more than 1000 x bigger! If those stars were where the sun is its surface will reach all the way to earth. We'd be toast!

Matariki is a special occasion in the New Zealand calendar that marks the start of the Maori New Year. Matariki is on Friday the 24th of June. The cluster of stars appears at night, this is a time to reflect on the past year, celebrate the present, and plan the year ahead.

My prediction is that in this text we are going to find out about the Moon a bit more and find out what it does and why it looks like that. Also, learn about different perspectives and what it used to look like and what it looks like now.

Why Is the Moon Upside Down? The answer to that question is quite simple it looks upside down because we are looking at it from a different perspective/different place in the world. Since we are in two different hemispheres has something to do with it as well.

In page 5 they are showing the moon cycle. It shows that it is the complete opposite from two different places. The diagrams in page 5 shows different stages of the moon. And the two different cycles from Japan and New Zealand.

The moon may look upside down because we are on two different sides of the world. New Zealand is in the southern hemisphere and Japan is in the northern hemisphere. It looks upside down because we are seeing different perspectives but the same moon.

The legend related to the story is Rona and Marama (the moon). Here is a video about the legend.
