The moon.
A fascinating sphere that revolves around our planet.

Here are 15 interesting facts about the moon.

  1. Always visible on the same side
    The moon rotates in synchronous rotation with the Earth, which means we always see the same side of the moon. The “dark side” of the moon is only invisible from Earth, but it does receive sunlight.

  2. No atmosphere
    The moon has no atmosphere like the Earth. This means that there is no weather, noise, or meteoroid protection.

  3. Influence on tides
    The moon's gravity causes the tides in Earth's oceans. Without the moon, the tides would be far less powerful.

  4. Gravity on the moon
    The gravity on the moon is about 1/6 of that on Earth. A person weighing 60 kg on Earth would only weigh 10 kg on the moon.
