The Moon is Earth's only natural satellite. It has no formal English name other than "the Moon", although it is occasionally called Luna (Latin: moon), or Selene (Greek: moon), to distinguish it from the generic term "moon" (referring to any of the various natural satellites of other planets). Its symbol is a crescent (). The related adjective for the Moon is lunar (again from the Latin root), but this is not found in combination, the combining forms seleno-/-selene (again from the Greek) and -cynthion (from the Lunar deity Cynthia) being used in terms relating to the Moon in various other contexts (e.g. aposelene, selenocentric, pericynthion, etc.).\n\nThe average distance from the Moon to the Earth is 384,401 kilometres (238,857 mi). The Moon's diameter is 3,476 kilometres (2,160 mi). Reflected sunlight from the Moon's surface reaches Earth in approximately 1.3 seconds (at the speed of light). The Moon is the Solar System's fifth largest moon, both by diameter and mass, ranking behind Ganymede, Titan, Callisto, and Io.\n\nThe Soviet Union's (USSR) Luna program was the first to reach the Moon with unmanned vehicles, or space probes: The first man-made object to escape Earth's gravity and pass near the Moon was Luna 1 in 1959. The first man-made object to impact the lunar surface was Luna 2, also in 1959. The first photographs of the normally occluded far side of the Moon were made by Luna 3 in the same year. The first spacecraft to perform a successful lunar soft landing was Luna 9 in 1966. The first (unmanned) vehicle to orbit the Moon was Luna 10 in 1966.\n\nThe United States' Apollo program achieved the first (and only) manned missions to the Moon: The first manned mission to orbit the Moon was Apollo 8 in 1968, and the first people to land and walk on the Moon came aboard Apollo 11 in 1969. The unsuccessful Soviet manned Moon project was abandoned in 1974. The Moon is the only celestial body other than the Earth upon which humans have set foot.\n\nThe two sides of the Moon\nThe Moon is in synchronous rotation, meaning that it keeps nearly the same face turned toward Earth at all times. Small variations resulting from the finite eccentricity of the lunar orbit, termed optical librations, allow up to about 59% of the lunar surface to be visible from Earth. The side of the Moon that faces Earth is called the near side, and the opposite side is called the far side. The far side should not be confused with the dark side, as the unilluminated hemisphere only corresponds to the far side during full moon. In fact, the far side receives (on average) slightly more sunlight than the near side due to lunar eclipse. Spacecraft are cut off from direct radio communication with Earth when behind the Moon due to line-of-sight propagation. One distinguishing feature of the far side is its almost complete lack of maria (singular: mare), which are the dark albedo features.\n\nOrbit and relationship to Earth\n \nA scale model of Earth and the MoonMain articles: The Moon's orbit and Earth and Moon\nSee also: Libration \nThe Moon makes a complete orbit about the Earth approximately once every 27.3 days. It is at present in its 4th quarter, illuminated by ca. -155% . Unlike most satellites of other planets, the Moon orbits near the ecliptic and not the Earth's equatorial plane.\n\nThe Earth and Moon have many physical effects upon one another, including the tides. Most of the tidal effects seen on the Earth are caused by the Moon's gravitational pull, with a smaller contribution from the Sun. Tidal effects result in an increase of the mean Earth-Moon distance, over long periods of time, of about 4 meters per century. As a result of the conservation of angular momentum, the increasing semimajor axis of the Moon is accompanied by a gradual slowing of the Earth's rotation.\n\nThe Earth-Moon system may be considered to be a double planet rather than a planet-moon system.[3] This is due

Moons and girls both glow with light from the sun that loves them.  They only show you small amounts of their personalities until they feel complete with their love then they glow so beautifully that all the world notices.\n\n\nHow's that?

Full moon\n\nThe Galileo spacecraft took this composite image on 7 December 1992 on its way to explore the Jupiter system in 1995-97. The color is 'enhanced' in the sense that the CCD camera is sensitive to near infrared wavelengths of light beyond human vision.The Full Moon is the lunar phase that occurs when the Moon lies on the opposite side of Earth from the Sun. The Moon as seen from the surface of Earth is fully illuminated by the Sun at this time, presenting a "full" round disk to viewers on Earth. As always, only half the total surface of the Moon is illuminated.\n\n\n1 Eclipses \n2 Numbers and formulae \n3 Folklore \n4 Calendars \n5 Full Moon names \n6 The Blue moon \n7 See also \n8 References \n \n\n\n\nEclipses\nA Full Moon is the only time when a lunar eclipse is possible; at that time the Moon may move through the shadow cast by Earth. However, because of the tilt or inclination of the Moon's orbit around Earth relative to Earth's orbit around the Sun, the Moon usually passes to the north or south of Earth's shadow at Full Moon, so a lunar eclipse does not occur at every Full Moon.\n\nFull Moons are generally a poor time to conduct astronomical observations, since the bright reflected sunlight from the Moon overwhelms the dimmer light from stars.\n\n\nNumbers and formulae\nAlthough on average it takes only 27.322 days (sidereal month) for the Moon to complete one orbit around Earth, it requires about two more days than that to again catch up with the Sun. On average, the number of days between Full Moons is about 29.5306 days. The actual number of days may differ from the average number by more than a half day. From one Full Moon to the next, the number of days in one lunation can vary between 29.272 and 29.833 days.\n\nThe age and apparent size of the Full Moon vary in a cycle of just under 14 synodic months, which is called the Full moon cycle.\n\nThe combined date and time of Full Moon number N, using a fictitious moon that moves at a strictly mean rate is approximately:\n\nD = 20.362954 + 29.5305888531 × N + 102.19 × 10-12 × N 2 \nD is the number of days (and fractions) since 1 January 2000 00:00:00 UTC, \nN is the count of full moons starting with zero as the first (not 1 as you would have expected) as the first Moon in the year 2000. \nThe true Full Moon may differ from this by up to about 14.5 hours, due to the normal irregularity in the Moon's Keplerian orbit, and due to the periodic perturbations on that Keplerian orbit by the Sun, the equatorial bulge of Earth, and nearby planets.\n\nSee the New Moon page for a detailed explanation of the formula.\n\n\nFolklore\nFull Moons are traditionally associated with temporal insomnia, insanity (hence the terms lunacy and lunatic) and various magical phenomena such as lycanthropy.\n\nPsychologists have found that there is no strong evidence for effects on behaviour around Full Moon [1]. They find that studies are not consistent, with some showing a positive effect, while others will show a negative effect. In one instance, the December 23, 2000 issue of the British Medical Journal published two studies on dog bite admission to hospitals in England and Australia. The study of the Bradford Royal Infirmary found that dog bites were twice as common at Full Moon, while the study of public hospitals in Australia found they were less likely at Full Moon. Psychologists point out that there is a difference between correlation and causation. The mere fact that two events happen at the same time doesn't mean that there is a cause and effect relationship between the two.\n\nNeopagans hold a monthly ritual called an Esbat at each Full Moon.\n\nMany people practicing traditional Chinese religions prepare their ritual offerings to their ancestors and deities on every Full Moon and New Moon.\n\n\nCalendars\nThe Islamic calendar and the traditional Chinese calendar are both based on the phases of the Moon. Neither calendar, however, begins i

yes it is, and delicious too. With holes and rats at their holes. Yum YUm....\nNo i was just kidding. What you see in animations and cartoons are not all true, they are just make beliefs. \nThe moon is a solid rock just like the earth.  It formed as the same age of the earth. And you'll learm a lot more of the moon when you go to school. So study very hard and you'll know more and much interesting things, not just the moon but a lot more.

I am very effected by the fool moon, however as a Cancer it is my ruling planet.  I make sure to saty home that night and have a few drinks.  I always make a very special meal and just enjoy watching the moon pass over my house!

What confuses you about the moon? Most planets have them. Ours is old, lifeless, has a high reflectivity, and rotates once for every revolution (so we always see the same side). Why are you confused?

This is when the moon is in front of the sun in respect to the earth. It is also called conjunction.
