Moon in Orbiter

The Moon is Earth's only natural satellite.

Physical characteristics

The moon is slightly ellipsoid about 1738 km in radius.

The radius of the moon is about a quarter that of the Earth. Because it is far away it looks small, about half a degree wide. The gravity on the moon is one-sixth of the Earth's gravity. It means that something will be six times lighter on the Moon than on Earth. The Moon is a rocky and dusty place. The Moon moves slowly away from the earth at a rate of 3.8cm per year, due to the effect of tidal dissipation.
