The moon is the only moon of the planet.
It is ranked fifth in terms of size, among the group of satellites of the solar system.
The moon's diameter is about a quarter of the Earth's planet, about three thousand four hundred and seventy-five kilometers.
Its mass is equal to one-eighth of the Earth's mass.
The moon's movement coincides with the movement of the planet, which is why the people of the earth see only one face of the moon.
For the Earth, the moon is the second brightest celestial object visible to us, after the sun.
The moon's surface contains many craters resulting from the impact of space rocks on the moon's surface.
The moon is a geologically inactive planet, which does not consist of earthquakes and volcanoes, and its atmosphere is very thin, resulting from the continuous bombardment of radiation coming from other celestial bodies in space.
The shape of the moon is not as spherical as it seems to us, it is an oval shape.
The light from the moon comes from the sun; because the moon is a darkened planet, no light emanates from itself.
The Moon's gravity is one in sixty of Earth's gravity, and the speed of its escape is two to four kilometers per second.
The orbit of the moon around the Earth is oval, moving at a speed of three thousand and seven hundred kilometers per hour.
The moon gradually moves away from the Earth every year. The moon was once closer to the Earth from now, and the distance it takes each year is about three centimeters and seventy-five percent of the centimeter.
The surface of the moon contains heavy dust, does not contain water; it is arid and dry, except for the presence of some frozen water from the poles, and contains a lot of hard rock, rocky hills, slopes and mountains.
The moon is the only planet that has landed on its surface.
