The Moon

The moon is the Earth's only natural satellite and its nearest neighbor in the solar system.

The diameter of the moon is about 2,160 miles (3,476 kilometers), basically one-fourth that of the Earth's diameter.

The moon's gravitational pull on the Earth is the main cause of the rise and fall of ocean tides.
