MOON RIDDLES

How does the man in the moon cut his hair?

Why was the moon late for its date?

When is the moon not hungry?

Im spherical but Im not a soccer ball
I can be full even though I havent eaten anything
I have craters but Im not a volcano
I have a dark side but Im not Darth Vader
I can be seen at night but Im not a star
I affect tides but Im not the wind
What am I?

Some planets have many of these
But for our planet there is only one
It causes a solar eclipse
When it gets between the Earth and the sun
What is it?

This has hardly any atmosphere
Which means that there is no rain
Its a place that orbits round the Earth
Which we can see wax and wane

There is a far away place
That has both light and dark sides
Its gravitational pull
Has an effect on Earths tides
What is it?

I am something in the sky
That seems to shine at night
However, Im not a star
I am Earths satellite
What am I?

This is a place thats not on earth
Where only astronauts have been sent
It can be full, it can be half
And sometimes it can be a crescent
What is it?

This thing was here since the world began yet it is never more than one month old. What is It?

What is it that can be full but will never overflow?

I am something in the sky
That seems to shine at night
However, Im not a star
I am Earths satellite
