Moon Myths

Many people have lots of misconceptions about the moon, and they're not just about insanity and green cheese. Here are a few:

The moon doesn't spin. It takes 29.5 days for the moon to spin one time. It also takes 29.5 days for the moon to orbit the Earth. This is why we see the same face of the moon all the time. This hasn't always been true - the moon's spin has gradually slowed down to match its orbit around the Earth.

One side of the moon is always dark. We see the same side of the moon every time we look at it. But the "back" of the moon gets light during the new moon, when the moon is between the Earth and the sun.

The moon will crash into the earth. The Earth's gravity does pull on the moon. But because of complex interactions between the Earth's gravity and the moon's, the moon is moving away by a few centimeters per year.

The moon orbits the Earth. It's common knowledge that the moon orbits the Earth, but it isn't exactly true. The moon does move around the Earth, but the Earth is moving, too. Both objects orbit a common point, called the barrycenter.
