What reading level is A Day in the Moon book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
From the time of sunrise a period of ^ C4 hours itfVlMMVIMMMttMMNMttdPMMMMAMMBMMM of light goes by, and then comes a night of equal duration.
Such is the length of the lunar days. It has always seemed to me an excellent illustration of the rela- tive nature of time.
Our divisions of it into hours, minutes, and seconds are obviously arbitrary, and based upon the return of the Sun to the same point in the heavens.
9 o A DAY IN THE MOON Now, this interval between two of its passages across the mer...idian depends on our movement or rotation. And just as we do not think of basing our measures of time and our calendar on the rotation and revolution of Jupiter, so the Selenites would have no reason for founding theirs on our terrestrial calendar.
Thus, when I promised to let you pass a day on the Moon, I meant to speak of a true lunar day, so we have more than three hundred hours before us, in which to visit our satellite and carry out excursions that a terrestrial explorer might envy.
It is not, however, the fact that days as long as this are entirely unknown in our world.
