The Moon is following us wherever we go

Based on our childhood belief we choose this topic. We have thought before
that the moon was following us wherever we go like literally. My partner and I,
we both have this kind of experience and also our friends. As kids when we go out
at night in our yard walking and when we look up the sky and see the moon it’s
as if the moon was also moving and following our direction. But after reaching
the exact age that we were able to understand how the universe works, we
understand why the Moon seems to follow us. It is because it is very far away
from us, and objects like trees and houses that you pass by are very close by
comparison. As you walk or drive along, things much closer to you, like trees and
houses, appear to move between you and the Moon.
