You’ve probably noticed that the moon looks different almost every night.  The reason is that the moon has a day and a night too.  The light side of the moon is its day, and the dark side is its night.  A day on the moon, however is a lot longer than our day.  Our day is only 24 hours, but a lunar day lasts a little over 4 weeks (29.5 days... which is just about a month!)  Click on the links below to learn more about the phases of the moon.
