Why is there a moon

Alright, imagine the sky is a big, magical stage, and the moon is a shiny, round nightlight that lights it up when it gets dark. A long time ago, the moon was made when a giant rock bumped into Earth, and a piece broke off. That piece became the moon, and now it follows Earth around like a little friend in the sky. It helps us by lighting up the night and making tides in the oceans, like a gentle wave-maker. So, the moon is up there to keep us company and help the Earth! 🌕🌟
