Our moon makes Earth a more livable planet by moderating our home planet’s wobble on its axis, leading to a relatively stable climate, and creating a tidal rhythm that has guided humans for thousands of years. The moon was likely formed after a Mars-sized body collided with Earth and the debris formed into the most prominent feature in our night sky. It is the only celestial a body beyond Earth that has been visited by human beings.
Earth’s Moon is the fifth largest of the 200 moons orbiting planets in our solar system.
Distance from the Earth: About 239,000 miles.
“Year“ (time to orbit the Earth): About 27 Earth days.
Day: About 27 Earth days.
Minimum temperature: -387 degrees Fahrenheit.
Maximum temperature: 253 degrees Fahrenheit.
Earth’s only natural satellite is simply called “the Moon“ because people didn’t know other moons existed until Galileo Galilei discovered four moons orbiting Jupiter in 1610.
