Moon
The Moon is Earth's only natural satellite and the fifth largest moon in the Solar System. It is approximately 3,474 kilometers in diameter and orbits Earth at an average distance of about 384,400 kilometers. The Moon has a significant influence on Earth, affecting tides and stabilizing its axial tilt. Its surface features include maria, highlands, and craters, resulting from impacts and volcanic activity. The Moon has been a focal point for human exploration, with the Apollo missions landing the first humans on its surface in 1969.
