  • Moon's surface area is 37.8 million square km.
  • The moon's surface gravity is 1.63m/s/sec
  • The moon is Earth's only natural satellite
  • Neil Armstrong is the first person who walked in the moon
  • Galileo made the first map of the moon in the early 17th century
  • The moon was formed about 4 billion years ago from debris left over when a Mars-sized body collided with the young earth
  • The moon has no atmosphere, so it can not support life
  • The moon orbits around the Earth at an average distance of 384,000km
  • The moon has no atmosphere, so it cannot retain heat or water vapor
  • The moon is tidally locked to Earth, meaning that one side always faces us while the other remains dark
  • The moon rotates around its axis at the same rate as it revolves around the Earth, which means that one side always faces us while the other remains dark
  • It takes approximately one month (29 days) to orbit once around the Earth
  • The moon orbits around the Earth at an average distance of 238,900 miles (384,400 km)
  • The moon takes approximately 27 days to orbit once around the Earth
  • The moon rotates on its axis at the same rate as it revolves around the Earth, which means that we always see the same side of the Moon.
  • The moon's gravity affects ocean tides on Earth
  • The moon's gravitational pull slows down the rotation of the Earth, causing our days to get longer over time.
