What is Understanding the Moon: Features and Phases about?
The moon is a natural satellite of Earth that formed over 4 billion years ago from debris ejected into orbit after a large impact. It is about a quarter the size of Earth and orbits about 384,000 km away. The moon has no atmosphere and experiences large temperature swings. Its surface is covered in impact craters and volcanic maria and it always keeps the same face toward Earth due to tidal locking. The moon undergoes phases as it orbits Earth and causes lunar eclipses when it moves into Earth
