Question Imagine you lived on the Moon instead of Earth. What would you mean by a day, a month, or a year? (Page 170)
A day on the Moon (from one sunrise to the next) would be about 29.5 Earth days. A month might be defined by one complete orbit around Earth (which is also about 27.3 Earth days). A year is the time the Earth to complete one orbit around the Sun, which you could still observe from the Moon in about 365 Earth days.
