Did You Know?
1Though less common than earthquakes, the moon actually has moonquakes, too. That's right. Moonquakes. Pretty much everyone is interested in space, so this is always a good fact to pull out.

result of meteoroids hitting the surface or by the gravitational pull of the Earth squeezing and stretching the moon's interior, in a similar way to the moon's tidal pull on Earth's oceans.2-1BMed67drouel wrote: Sun Sep 03, 2023 7:55 am That's really interesting! I didn't know that the moon had quakes too. I guess it makes sense since the moon is also a celestial body and has its own geological activity. Do you know what causes moonquakes? Are they similar to earthquakes?
