The earth began as nothing but water and darkness, and all the animals were in Galúnlati, above the stone vault that makes up the sky. Galúnlati became so crowded that the animals needed more room, and they wanted to move down to earth. Not knowing what was below the water, they sent down the Water-beetle to explore. Water-beetle dove below the water and eventually came back with some mud from below. That mud grew and grew, and finally it became the island that we call earth.
In case you don’t know, the moon can get as hot as 253℉ (123℃) when the sun is hitting the moon’s surface, and as cold as -243℉ (-153℃) in areas where the sun is not striking the moon’s surface. As I said earlier, the moon has only small traces of an atmosphere. I should also let you know that Lunars came from human colonists. How could humans adapt to such drastic conditions? The answer is, very slowly.
Moon grows in many ways throughout his whole adventure that the book Alabama Moon tells us. Moon grows and learns new things making him smarter and know more about life and how to act and be around other people. Moon says, “Nossir. I hope I’m done whippin up on people” (192). This shows he has grown and learned violence isn’t always the answer.
The brothers in the native American creation story hate each other and are son’s of the The Sky Woman. The brothers fought then killed their Grandmother and the head of the old lady became the moon. The difference between the Bible version is that God created the moon not that one of the brothers ripped a grandmother's head off and it became the moon. The eldest brother the Sun who represents the power of fire, and the younger brother became the ruler of the night so he can be with his grandmother.

The Earth is made of a supernatural being’s body. Even though this motif may sound strange, it is actually used in many creation stories. All throughout the world, from Egypt to Norway to China, this myth has been adopted and adapted in very similar ways. Usually, the myths keep one thing the same, except for a few exceptions, the Earth is made from a female being’s body. This may be the reason for multiple creation myths having this motif as part of their story.
In the fifth tablet of Enûma Eliš, a Babylonian Creation Epic the cycle of the moon is described, beginning with the lunar crescent and ending with the new moon1. The cycle is set in out what is known as an ideal month containing thirty days. Unfortunately for the Babylonians mean month set out by a lunar cycle is 29.5 days long. As this creates a problem with syncing solar phases with seasons the tropical year, the real lunar month were used where a new month was indicated by a crescent moon rather than following a thirty day cycle. With the ability to predict the moon's first visibility in the first millennium, Steele asks the question whether the calculated cycle replaced the observed one in day to day life1.
The moon revolves around the Earth on its axis every 27.3, and it takes the same amount of time to rotate as well. That means if it rotates and revolves at the same time, a day and a year are the same thing on Earth. Even though the rotation and revolution are both 27.3 days, the cycle for all of the phases takes 29.3 days. The phases are caused by the positions of the sun, moon, and Earth. Half of the moon is always shining on the moon. Sometimes you might only see half of it, and sometimes you might see all of it.
How was the earth formed? There are many thoughts and myths on how our earth was made and it changes majorly from culture to culture. There’s the original God who created Earth and that’s the one most believe here in America. Then there are cultures who believe that the God was a different person or even more than just one person. Some cultures think that the earth was in an egg shell and had to just hatch out.
As the story tells, the sky was barren before these events so the story is obviously meant to explain the origin of the sun and moon, but the interest in knowing the origins of these celestial bodies may have originated from sea navigation. Sea navigation was a critical part of Norse culture, to the point that ships are considered the symbol of the Vikings and without them, their culture could not have realized its achievements (Foote, Wilson, 1970:232). Among other things, the position of the moon and sun were used as a way for Norse sailors to know how to reach their destinations (Foote, Wilson, 1970:255). The fact that they depended on these celestial bodies in order to navigate the sea successfully, may have instigated a sense of curiosity about the nature of the moon and sun. Where did they come from?
The moon: a ball of rock orbiting earth. Although the moon has been thoroughly researched, countless mysteries still remain. In addition to theories about the moon 's composition and interior structure, the most important question remains unanswered: "Where did the moon come from?" In an attempt to better understand the origin of the moon, the Capture Theory, Fission Theory, Impact Theory, and, the most logical, Sister Theory, have been discussed. A video of the moon landing, in addition to further geological evidence, has been collected and used as challenging points towards questioning its originality.
Before the creation of the sun, there was no light or hope. All of the gods, animals and people lived in completely terrifying darkness. There was, however, one person who could bring temporary light to everyone. Apollo, the god of light, gave people hope by giving them light. For many years, Apollo was the only one who could bring light to his people, but someone else who could also bring light to the world would soon be a threat to Apollo.
Floating about in all types of literature, there are many legends as to how the earth was created; these legends are known as creation myths. A creation myth offers answers to questions that ask how the earth was created, and explains the social customs of today as well as the workings of the natural world by telling an elaborate story. The Cherokee Indians have spread their beliefs on this topic throughout generations through oral tradition. Recent authors have taken these myths to paper to preserve history and to spread them even further around the world. “How the World Was Made” is a creation myth that not only offers an abundance of information regarding the origin of earth, but also supports the social traditions of today’s society and attempts to explain the intangible, natural workings of the world.
Today we have two stories, both based on same topic; Creation of earth. One is called the Iroquois story of creation, which is about the woman that fell from the sky. Then we have the Genesis Creation story which is about how god created the earth.
The terms "old moon" and "new moon" are not interchangeable. The "old moon" is a waning sliver (which eventually becomes undetectable to the naked eye) until the moment it aligns with the sun and begins to wax, at which point it becomes new again. Half moon is often used to mean the first- and third-quarter moons, while the term. When a sphere is illuminated on one hemisphere and viewed from a different angle, the portion of the illuminated area that is visible will have a two-dimensional shape defined by the intersection of an ellipse and circle (where the major axis of the ellipse coincides with a diameter of the
