The Moon is Earth's natural satellite, orbiting at an average distance of about 384,400 kilometers (238,855 miles) from our planet.

It is the fifth-largest moon in the Solar System.

The Moon's surface is covered in craters, mountains, valleys, and large, flat areas known as "maria," which are ancient volcanic plains.

The Moon has a very thin and tenuous atmosphere called an exosphere.

Its gravitational pull affects Earth's tides.

The Moon's phases, which include new moon, first quarter, full moon, and last quarter, are caused by the changing angle between the Sun, Earth, and Moon.
