00:00The rise of floods, or the rise of water in different parts of the world,
00:08is said to be monthly or monthly.
00:30The truth about the mysteries surrounding the moon, let's find out this morning.
00:46Here are 6 Buwan Plastic Facts that will surely wow you.
00:51Buwan Plastic Fact number 1, the moon smells.
00:56According to the Apollo missions, astronauts say that the moon smells.
00:59Although there is no wind in the moon, so it is not possible to smell it.
01:05But when the astronauts returned to the spacecraft after their moonwalk,
01:08they noticed that they got a different smell from the lunar dust or lunar regolith.
01:14Buzz Aldrin, an American astronaut and the second person to walk on the moon,
01:19depicted the smell as if it was from a burnt gunpowder.
01:22Scientists thought that it might be because there is no oxygen or atmosphere on the moon.
01:29So when the astronauts entered their lander,
01:33the dust from the moon came into contact with oxygen and other gases for the first time.
01:44And these chemical reactions are what causes the temporary smell that they smell.
01:50Buwan Plastic Fact number 2, the moon has mountains.
01:55Despite how peaceful it looks from Earth,
01:57the moon has mountains just like our world.
02:01The tallest mountain in the moon is the Mons Huygens, which is 18,000 feet high,
02:07more than half of Mount Everest.
02:09The mountains in the moon are formed by one process mostly.
02:13And this process is the collision of meteors on the moon.
02:18These meteors are rocks from space.
02:20When it collides with the moon, the moon creates craters.
02:26So there are holes and this hole is where its former contents go to the sides.
02:31And on this side are the mountains.
02:33But due to the nature of the surface of the moon,
02:35it is difficult to determine the exact number of mountains there.
02:40Buwan Plastic Fact number 3, the moon has quakes.
02:44Yes, my fellow scientists, hashtag maylindol.
02:47The moon also has quakes just like our world.
02:50But the moon has quakes, not quakes.
02:53The moon also has quakes, not quakes.
02:56The moon also has quakes, not quakes.
03:00The moon also has quakes just like our world.

03:29The moon also has quakes, not quakes.
03:30The moon also has quakes, not quakes.
03:31The moon also has quakes, not quakes.
03:32The moon also has quakes, not quakes.
03:33The moon also has quakes, not quakes.
03:34The moon also has quakes, not quakes.
03:35The moon also has quakes, not quakes.
03:36The moon also has quakes, not quakes.
03:38Although moonquakes are slow and weaker than earthquakes,
03:41the study of the moon's rotation provides important information
03:45about the internal structure of the moon
03:48that can be used in preparing for the next lunar explorations.
03:59Even before space explorations,
04:01the far side of the moon was never seen
04:04to create speculation and mistery
04:07in that part of the moon that is not seen.
04:10That's why the term dark side of the moon was coined.
04:14Actually, there is no permanent dark side of the moon.
04:18At any given time,
04:20half of the moon is illuminated
04:23and half of the moon is in the dark.
04:26So there is no permanent dark side of the moon.
04:29But there is a permanent far side of the moon.
04:32There is a side of the moon that is always far from the earth
04:36and always behind the earth.
04:38And there is a near side of the moon
04:41that is always in front of the earth.
04:44Even if it is half moon,
04:46that is the side of the moon that we see,
04:48the near side of the moon.
04:51This proves some lunar missions
04:53that came from the far side of the moon
04:55just like the return of Chang'e 6,
04:57the Chinese moon mission that came to the world on June 25.
05:01Fantastic fact number 5.
05:03The moon is moving away from the earth.
05:06Did you know that the moon is moving away from the world year by year?
05:09According to the British Broadcasting Company or BBC,
05:12in the 1970s,
05:13the first suspicion was confirmed
05:15by the English astronomer Edmund Haley
05:17that the moon is moving away from us.
05:19With the help of the mirrors
05:21put by the successful lunar missions,
05:23scientists were able to confirm that the moon is moving away from the earth
05:26by 3.8 cm every year.
05:28So yes, it's true.
05:29Our moon is moving away slowly from the earth.
05:34And it has something to do with the tides actually.
05:37And apparently,
05:38the moon has something to do with our...
05:41Fantastic fact number 6.
05:42The moon affects tides.
05:45If you are walking in the middle of the ocean,
05:47you will see the sea water rising or falling.
05:50Just look at the sky
05:51because the moon has something to do with it.
05:54Even if the moon is far away from us,
05:56its gravitational pull on the earth
05:58has a big role in the rise or fall of the water
06:01or what we call tides.
06:03Because the moon also has gravity.
06:07It also pulls everything on the earth.
06:11But if one thing is light,
06:14like me,
06:17I don't really feel the effect of the gravity of the moon
06:21because I'm not that big.
06:24One big thing here on earth is the ocean.
06:29There's a lot of water in the ocean.
06:31There are a lot of oceans.
06:32And these oceans,
06:33they really feel the effect of the gravity
06:36of the moon's pull.
06:39Because of the moon's pull,
06:41the gravity of the moon,
06:42the shape of our ocean becomes oval.
06:45It's a little higher on the part in front of the moon.
06:50It's also higher on the opposite side of the moon.
06:53And the sides on the sides are thinner.
06:56So the sides that are higher are the high tides.
06:59And the sides on the sides are the low tides.
07:03The water level is lower.
07:06The moon wobble,
07:07or the change of the orbit of the moon
07:09within 18.6 years,
07:11also has a big effect on the tides.
07:15But what is the relationship of the tides
07:17when the moon is far from the earth?
07:20For example, I'm the earth.
07:21And my jacket is the ocean.
07:24So the moon pulls my ocean.
07:26I have a high tide and a low tide,
07:29where it's lower.
07:30When it pulls,
07:31it throws the moon away.
07:34So because of the moon,
07:36there's a high tide.
07:37And I'm rotating like this.
07:39So when I'm rotating like this,
07:40I'm forcing the moon to move away.
07:43The energy of the rotation of the earth
07:45is slowly being thrown towards the moon.
07:48And because it's being thrown towards the moon,
07:50the moon is moving away.
07:54At a distance of 238,855 miles,
07:57the moon is our closest neighbor in space.
08:01Guys, imagine.
08:02If a car can drive to the moon,
08:05it will probably take six months
08:07to go to the moon
08:08at a speed of 60 miles per hour
08:10all day, every day.
08:13That's why it's not surprising
08:15that the moon has a big effect
08:16on our lives here on earth.
08:20It's fantastic!
08:21Aha!
