Gravitational force exerted by the earth on the moon makes it to stick and revolve around the Earth

# data[].attributes.body
The moon has a smaller gravitational force when compared to Earth because the moon has much less mass.

# data[].attributes.body
It takes the moon around 28 days to complete its orbit around the Earth, moving through eight different phases of the lunar cycle. It starts with the New Moon and reaches the Full Moon and then this process restarts.

# data[].attributes.body
The Moon's mass is not very big therefore its gravitational force, is not large enough to hold the gases around it and hence, the gases escape, thus, it has no atmosphere.

The moon appears to be a light source but it just reflects the light of Sun.

The moon appears to be a light source but it just reflects the light of Sun.

# data[].attributes.body
The moon shines because its surface reflects light from the sun and despite the fact that it sometimes seems to shine very brightly, the moon reflects only between 3 and 12 percent of the sunlight that hits it.

# data[].attributes.body
It has craters because unlike the Earth which burns the foreign particles in the atmosphere itself, the moon has no atmosphere so it allows the asteroids to crash, making craters.
(Craters are huge pits created due to collision of asteroids and other celestial bodies)

# data[].attributes.body
Sound waves need a medium to travel. As there is no atmosphere or medium on the moon, that's why no sound can be heard on the moon.

Billions of year ago, our Earth looked very different from the Earth we glaze upon now was hit by a celestial body which was about the size of Mars in this time called Theia and because of the collision the moon was formed.

# data[].attributes.body
Moonquakes (as they are known on the moon) are produced as a result of meteoroids crashing the surface or by the gravitational pull of the Earth squeezing and stretching the moon's interior. The type of moonquakes, we think there are:
1) Deep moonquakes
2) Vibrations from the impact of meteorites
3) Shallow moonquakes
4) Thermal quakes

Moon Is the closest satellite to the Sun

As we all know Moon is the only & the closest satellite to Earth
But it is also the closest satellite to the Sun as well.
This is because Venus and Mercury don't have their own satellite.🌙

Researchers have found that tides caused the moon to change shape as it was forming.

You weigh different on both the different celestial bodies!!

As we already mentioned previously, the moon has 1/6 of the gravity when compared to the Earth, this also changes your weight because Weight = Mass x Gravity. Your mass will remain the same.

The Moon continues to spin away from the Earth, at the rate of 3.78cm per year!!

As you would probably know, that the Moon causes tides. The moons pulls the water in oceans with its gravitational force but the oceans act back the same, making the moon speed up in its orbit. It successfully escapes the Earth, so you orbit the Earth more farther away. The length of our day is slowly increasing - back in the time of the dinosaurs, the day was a couple of hours less than it is today, this is also due to moon getting farther away.

The greatest crater on the Moon is called Aitken, after an American astronomer, and its diameter is 1240 miles. In fact, it's the second-largest crater in the Solar system.

In recent research through the Chandrayaan - 1 mission, scientists have confirmed that there is water found in ice trapped within dust and minerals on and under the surface. In the polar regions of the Moon, it is really cold, making the ice survive. There is enough water to fill 240,000 Olympic-sized swimming pools!! So on our next visit to the moon be sure to take a drilling machine. In my opinion, it is still better than remaining thirsty

The dark spots we see on the Moon are called "Mares” or Lunar seas. There are 17 seas, 1 ocean (of Storms) and

4 bays. But all of them are empty and dry. Scientists used to believe that there’d been water in them before, but the theory was proved wrong. Lunar seas are lowlands filled with basalt lava, which became solid long ago. Neil Armstrong & Buzz Aldrin landed their Eagle spacecraft on the Sea of Tranquility.
