Legends of the Shapes and Shadows
Look at the face of a full moon. What do you thought the shapes and shadows look like?
Today, people know that the shapes and shadows on the fill moon are craters, mountains, valleys and plains. Long ago, peeple made up stories to try and explain these shapes and shadows. Some people thought the mon was made of cheese.
other side shine the light on the apple.
When you see only the dark side of the apple, this is like a new moon. When the sun is directly behind the moon and blocks the sunlight, that phase is called the new moon.
3. Stay in the same spot and turn your body slowly. Soon you will see a small part of the apple (moon) lit up. This is called a crescent moon.
5.
Keep turning and you’ll see more and more of the apple (moon) light up. At one point, one whole side of the apple will be in the light. This is the full moon phase.
Some ancient Greeks beleeved a goddess lived in the moon, while the French saw a giant rabbit on the moon. And some Native Americans saw the shapes as a frog weaving a basket.
Keep turning and you will see less and less of the apple (moon) lit up. When you can no longer see any of the apple (moon) lit up, you will have seen all the phases of the apple—er, moon! 6.

Sudoku puzzles are formatted as a 9x9 grid, broken down into nine 3x3 boxes. To solve a sudoku, the numbers 1 through 9 must fill each row, column and box. Each number can appear only once in each row, column and box. You can figure out the order in which the numbers will appear by using the numeric clues already provided in the boxes. The more numbers you name, the easier it gets to solve the puzzle!
