Moon Flashcard for Preschoolers

The moon is Earth’s rocky companion in space — it makes no light of its own, it shines because sunlight bounces off it, and it changes shape in the sky as the month goes round.

A science flashcard: a child looking at the moon through a telescope, with the fact that the moon shines in the night sky.
