Read the following passage and choose the correct answer to each of the following questions from 31 to 36.
The Moon, Earth''s only natural satellite, has captivated humanity for millennia. Unlike the Sun, the Moon doesn''t emit its own light; instead, its ethereal glow comes from reflecting sunlight. This reflection creates the lunar phases, a cycle we observe as the illuminated portion of the Moon appears to wax and wane throughout each month.
A full lunar cycle, from new moon to full moon and back, takes approximately 29.5 days. This cycle begins with the new moon, a phase where the Moon is invisible to us as it sits directly between the Earth and Sun. As the Moon orbits our planet, we gradually see more of its illuminated surface, culminating in the full moon, where its entire face is bathed in sunlight.
The Moon''s influence extends beyond its captivating beauty. Its gravitational pull plays a crucial role in regulating Earth''s tides, influencing the ebb and flow of our oceans. This same gravitational force has stabilized Earth''s axial tilt, preventing drastic shifts that could lead to extreme climatic variations.
While the Moon may seem like a familiar celestial neighbour, there''s still much we are learning about its origins and composition. Scientific exploration continues to reveal new insights, enriching our understanding of this celestial body that has captivated us for ages.
