Tape transcript:

Good evening Welcome to our Science For Fun Program This week, we’ve

received a lot of questions asking about life on the moon

We’ve talked to some experts and this is what we’ve found out There is no

Water or air on the moon It is all silent because there is no air Of course,

there will be no music, no sounds There are no rivers and no lakes At night,

it is very cold The temperature goes down 1510 C below zero But during

the day the temperature rises to 1000 C above zero

There are great round holes on the moon They look like big lakes They are

called craters There are more then 30,000 craters on the moon There are

also high mountains The highest mountains on the moon are about 26,000 feet

or 8,000 meters high

And here is something very interesting to know: on the moon you weigh

one sixth of what you weigh on earth If you weigh 50 kilos, on the moon

you will weigh only a little more than 8 kilos You will be able to jump very high, even higher than an Olympic Champion You can take very long steps as well

And … may be you want won’t sleep very well because one day on the moon lasts for 2 weeks

So, is there life on the moon? I’ll leave the questions for you to answer yourself
