In a generic sense, any moon is a satellite that orbits a planet. In a specific sense, the Moon is the only natural satellite of Earth and the fifth largest such object in the Solar System (after Io, Callisto, Titan and Ganymede).
Moon and Companions

Two planets and a star team up with the crescent Moon in the western evening sky shortly after sunset over the next few nights. They are low in the sky as darkness falls, so you need a clear horizon to see them.

Moon rocks have told scientists many things.
For example, Moon rocks lack both iron and easily vaporized 'volatile' elements.
Moon phases occur with a period equal to the synodic period of the moon, equal to 29.530589 days, or 29 days, 12 hours, 44 minutes, 3 seconds.

We can see the moon when we look in the sky.
Sometimes it looks like a big round ball.
OK, the Moon revolves around the Earth. Right?

Moon's Nodal Cycle
The Moon's nodes are not static, but travel in retrograde (or westward) through the constellations of the zodiac, going full circle in period of about 18.6 years.
Our Moon's average visual albedo is 0.12. The brightness of the Moon changes dramatically as its phase changes.
The Moon and the Earth presently orbit the barycentre in 27.322 days, the sidereal month.
The moon is Earth's closest celestial neighbor. It has a huge influence upon our lives, governs the tides (the sun plays a small part, but not nearly as much as the Moon), and is responsible for eclipses.
The Moon from Space
These pictures of the moon were taken by the spacecraft. The picture at left shows the , with a small, dark in its center. The picture on the right shows the globe of the moon rotated, putting Orientale on the western .
The Moon is the nearest body to us in the Solar System, and as a consequence of the Apollo missions is the only extra-terrestrial object that has yet been explored directly by humans.
"The moon has no atmosphere, let alone oxygen," Zhang said. "In order to live on it, we need to have a way of keeping oxygen on the moon. A bubble dome is the most efficient way of encasing civilization on the moon.

On an average night we ignore that orb in the sky. We know that it is going to be there every time we look up, so we take it for granted.

Luna is a beautiful world that lies some 384,400 kilometers from Earth. It is littered with mountains, valleys, old volcano sites, and many bowl like holes called Craters.

moon: the natural satellite of the Earth. It has a mean distance from the Earth of 384.4 x 103 km and a semi-diameter at mean distance of 15' 33". The inclination of its orbit to the ecliptic is 5° 8' 43".
Moon
The Moon orbits around our Earth. It is very small compared to the planets, but appears large because it is so close to the Earth. The Moon orbits the Earth in 27.3 days.

The Moon lies 384,403 km (238,857 miles) distant from the Earth. While its diameter at 3,476 kilometers (2,160 miles) is just under half that of Earth's, its gravity is only one-sixth as strong as the Earth's.

MOON BUGGY
The Moon buggy (also known as the lunar rover or the Lunar Roving Vehicle) was a Jeep-like vehicle that the astronauts used to drive on the moon during the Apollo 15, 16, and 17 missions.
THE MOON
The Moon's average density, about 3300 kg/m3, is similar to the measured density of lunar surface rock, virtually eliminating any chance that the Moon has a large, massive, and very dense nickel—iron core like that of Earth.

The Moon is the Earth's only natural satellite. Its average distance from the Earth is 30 times the Earth's diameter. Its radius is only about one-fourth the Earth's and its mass is only 1/81 the mass of the Earth.
