Earth, Sun and Moon Song

This is the Astronomy Song,


Now we shall start with a bong.
Mercury and Venus, Earth and Mars,
Small and rocky, definitely not stars.
Jupiter and Saturn, Uranus and Neptune,
The years dont pass, not anytime soon.
The universe is ever expanding, just like a sprout of a
flower.
The next thing thatll be sprouting will be a meteor
shower.
The phases of the moon are created by the moons
rotation and the Sun.
Without the phases, the moon wouldnt be much fun.
The moon is so beautiful and luminous.
At night, it is the only thing there to illuminate us.
When the lit part grows, we say its waxing,
Just like your brain growing from the questions youre
asking.
When the lit part shrinks, we say its waning,
Its like youre taking a pencil and you slowly start
shading.
The moon covers the Earth during a solar eclipse,
Just like when you are blocking the view of a ship.
When the Earth covers the moon, its a lunar eclipse,
Earth, Sun and Moon Song
Just like when a big microphone is covering your lips.
Now we shall end with a bong,
That was the Astronomy Song!
