The Moon is the only natural satellite of the Earth,and the fifth largest satellite in the Solar System. It is the largest natural satellite of a planet in the Solar System relative to the size of its primary having 27% the diameter and 60% the density of Earth, resulting in 1⁄81 its mass. The Moon is the second densest satellite after Io, a satellite of Jupiter. The moon is about 386,242
miles from Earth. Our moon is certainly not low. More than that - it
is big enough to be a full planet, of course, if it revolved around the sun,
not the earth. The moon is a quarter the diameter of Earth. Only
Pluto larger satellites relative to the size of the planet around which it
revolves. We invite you to see how the other planets would look if they
were at the scene of the moon.
1. So, the moon, as we see it quite often.
