How far are we to the Moon?

Mia

Good question! As the Moon travels through space around the Earth, is doesn't always stay the same distance away. Sometimes we are closer to or farther away from the Moon. On average, the Earth is about 238,855 miles (384,400 km) away from the Moon. That's about the same distance as 30 Earths! 🌎 🌕

What do you know about manatees?

Kari

I know a few facts about manatees! Those sea mammals spend up to 8 hours a day eating seagrass or other vegetation. They may eat 10% of their body weight per day. Manatees usually come to the surface to breathe every 3–5 minutes. However, they can hold their breath for as long as 20 minutes.

Russell Kahn
