A short speech on the moon (Classes 3 to 5)
Good morning, everyone. Today I will speak about the moon, our beautiful night light.
The moon is the Earth's natural satellite. It has no light of its own; it shines because it reflects the sun's light. Every night it seems to change shape, from a thin crescent to a full round moon.
In 2023, India made history when Chandrayaan-3 landed near the moon's south pole. Maybe one of us will travel to the moon one day! Thank you.
