1. How is the Moon dependent on the Sun?
The Moon is dependent on the Sun for its different lunar phases. Although these phases may not be essential to the existence of the Moon, they would not occur without the Sun. Neither a lunar nor a solar eclipses would be possible without the Sun, again. Also, although this is not a direct dependence upon the Sun, if the Sun did not give the Earth an object to orbit, the Moon may never have fallen into orbit with the Earth.
2. How are seasons created?
The seasons are created by the tilt, 23.5 degrees, of the Earth’s axis and the position of the Earth in terms of its revolution around the Sun. A hemisphere will experience summer when it is tilted towards the Sun, while the other hemisphere experiences winter. If a hemisphere is tilted towards the Sun, it is receiving more sunlight and therefore it must be summer. This works the other way around as well; if a hemisphere is tilted away from the Sun, it is receiving less sunlight and therefore it is winter. At the end of the day, the seasons exist because of the Earth’s tilted axis and its revolutions around the Sun.

The first would be the bouncing walk along the Moon’s surface, due to the lower measure of gravity. In turn, I would enjoy being able to feel weightless on a surface with less pressure. I would experience the great differences in temperature and environment on the Moon in contrast to the Earth. Along with environment, the safety procedures and equipment would be very different from that which is on Earth. From my perspective, I would see the little world called Earth, which holds all of my life within a couple miles of its surface, off in the distant. While being on the Moon I would visit the famous American flag put there by Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin. Visting the Moon would be great, but does not seem like an even likely to occur in my
