Greetings,\n\nCruithne discovered in 1986.\n\nWe currently have a couple of asteriod size objects oribiting the earth, if that is what you are referring to (Reference the first website listed as sources.)\n\nWe also have any number of Near Earth Objects captured by Earth's gravity, the second link posted.\n\n-matt

The moon is 238,900 miles from the earth.

The average distance from the Moon to the Earth is 384,403 kilometres (238,857 miles). The Moon's diameter is 3,476 km (2,160 miles).

The moon.  Every four weeks there is a "New moon."

Yes -- in fact you are living on one.  The earth and moon is quite unusual in being relatively the same size to earth other compared to other moons around other planets in the solar system.\n\nIn that respect you can consider the earth and moon as being twin planets.\n\nAs to how often this happens outside the solar system, you would probably have to wait a few years as we have only just started to be able to detect planets around nearby stars but currently have no real means of actually observing them.

No Moon: Very Very Dark at night, The oceans would to move.\n\n2 Moons: Bright, the oceans and weather would be in chaos\n\n3 Moons: Probably chaotic unhevels major differences from now\n\nThe Moon affects everything on earth: From when planets bloom, the when the seasons change, to tidal movements, to Animal behavior, to cosmic catcher(the moon traps: 80% of all meoters inbound for earth)\n\nThe list is profounding\n\nGood question\n\nI added a few links to put it in science terms

The distance that the moon is from the earth depends on the location of the moon during the lunar calendar.\n\nWhen it is closest to the earth, the moon is 363,300 km from the earth (roughly 225,744.154 miles, 1.19192913 × 109 feet)\nWhen the moon is the farthest away, it is 405,500 km from the earth (roughly 251,966.018 miles, 1.33038058 × 10^9 feet)\nOn average, the distance from the earth to the moon is 384,400 km (roughly 238,855.086 miles, 1.26115486 × 10^9 feet)\n\nMeasurements reveal that the Moon's distance to the Earth increases by 38 mm per year!

Of the inner, rocky, planets, Mercury and Venus have no moons, Earth has one, and Mars has two tiny little ones, called phobos and deimos (fear and hatred). Our moon is actually named Luna.

There's the Man *in* the Moon, but not the Moon *in* the Earth.  So far, there is only one moon orbiting the Earth and its name is ... "Moon".

Some people incorrectly call the far side of the Moon the dark side of the Moon. The far side is never visible from Earth and the near side is always visible from Earth. But the far side not always dark, just like the near side is not always light.

No. The Earth's moon is terrestrial, meaning it has a rocky surface.

The waxing crecent moon is always in the west, just after sunset.\n\nEach evening, if you look after sunset, you will see it higher in the sky, and a bigger crecent.  After a week, it is high in the sky in the evening, and is a half-moon (first quarter moon).  The next week, it is more and more to the east each evening, and it is a waxing gibbous moon.  Finally, two weeks after the new moon, it rises in the east as a full moon sometime around sunset.
