The word month came from the word moon. The moon has no atmosphere, so lots of metriods hit it.

The side of the moon that does not face the sun is very, very cold and damp, and the side of the moon that does face the sun is very, very hot and dry. The moon faces the sun some of the time and faces the other side the rest of the time.

Some astronauts have walked on the moon and they were Americans so they stuck the American flag on the moon.
