The Moon

About Me

I am the Earth's only natural satellite. I have no formal English name other than "the Moon", although I am occasionally called Luna (Latin for moon), or Selene (Greek for moon), to distinguish me from the generic term "moon" (referring to any of the various natural satellites of other planets). My symbol is a crescent. The related adjective for me 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 me in various other contexts (e.g. aposelene, selenocentric, pericynthion, etc.).The average distance from me to the Earth is 384,401 kilometres (238,857 mi). My diameter is 3,476 kilometres (2,160 mi). Reflected sunlight from my surface reaches Earth in 1.3 seconds (at the speed of light). I am the Solar System's fifth largest moon and am also the fifth most massive moonLOOK WHAT I CAN DO
