The Moon

The Moon is Earth's only natural satellite. It orbits at an average distance of 384,400 km, about 30 times Earth's diameter.

The Moon always presents the same side to Earth, because gravitational pull has locked its rotation to the planet. This results in the lunar day of 29.5 Earth days matching the lunar month
