Let’s get to the facts!

Curiosities about the Moon

A Moon it is a Earth’s natural satellitewhich orbits around our planet.

It is a fact that it has been with us since the beginning of everything and there are several theories on how it was generated, but the most accepted today is that around 4.5 billion years ago the Earth collided with an immense celestial body (approximately size of Mars).

Therefore, from this collision something detached and became the Moon that we know today. It exerts a great gravitational force on us, which influences the tides, making them fuller or not – depending on their phase.

Furthermore, this factor influences the rotation of the Earth and makes so that every 100 years we move 3.8 cm away from our satellite.
But for those who are around 384,000 km away, that’s fine, right? LOL

Already the moon phases that we know originate from the fact that it is not a star (that is, it does not emit its own light) and its illumination is the reflection of the Sun on its surface. We explain!

Due to translational movements It is gravitational forceEarth and Moon move together, so we always see the same face.

Depending on the position of the dance of the stars in the sky, we have the Sun “behind” it, illuminating its hidden face and so it doesn’t seem so bright to us – this phase is the new Moon.

Already when the Sun is facing the face that we always see, we have the maximum reflected brightness and then the beautiful full moon, for example. Cool huh? 🙂

Influence on our lives

There are several facts and rumors that revolve around the Moon (did you like the pun? lol). Some scientifically proven and others reinforced by fierce popular belief, the main ones are:

Influence of the moon on rain

Proven by scientists, its positioning It can affect the probability of rain.

This is because depending on where you are, more atmospheric pressure exerts on a certain region, moisture is retained and therefore: less humidity = less chance of rain.

Influence of the moon on agriculture

Just as it influences rainfall and tides, it also has iinfluence on plantations.

In his book “Planting and Harvesting with the Phases of the Moon”, master in Forestry Sciences Cristiano Cardoso Gomes explains that in its different phases, the influence is greater or lesser on the Earth and agriculture and where the sap is found.

That’s why in waning moon (where there wouldn’t be so much influence) it would be good to plant roots like beets, carrots, potatoes and in full moon (where the influence would be in its splendor) vegetables such as cauliflower, cabbage, lettuce… besides, they are also more suitable for flowers!

Influence of the moon on haircut

There are those who are very attached to this belief that moon influences haircutwhich is not scientifically proven.

A waning moon would leave the hair thinner and without growing, Crescent moon would help with growth, full moon would bring volume and on new Moon we would have the best time to cut them, as they would grow beautiful and healthy.

Like every belief, there are those who put their whole hearts into it… and there are those who think it’s baseless nonsense because the Moon only influences large volumes of mass (seas, oceans, plantations)!

For us, the best time to cut your hair She is the one who seeks renewal and wants to feel good about herself!

Influence of the moon on births

There are obstetricians for and against this idea that supposedly determines the birth date, but it is also not scientifically proven. There is this idea that when “the moon turns” the baby can be born, but it is not a rule – although people say that it actually happens. LOL

The chance of this happening is mainly when it changes to the stage at which the baby was conceived, but again… other factors influence and this is not the determining factor.

Influence of the moon on signs

You stars have a huge influence on our lives and this is the basis of Astrology.

It would be no different with Moonwhich is linked to our emotions, feminine energy and personality: how we react, what pleases us most, what affects us, our impulses and intimacy.
