"As of today, 12 people have been on the Moon."
"The only reason we see the Moon is because it’s reflecting light from the sun."
"If you wanted to walk the circumference of the Moon, it would take roughly 206 days."
"To reach the Moon by spacecraft it would about three days."
"A spacecraft travels at least 240,000 miles (386,400 kilometers) from the earth to the Moon."
"The Moon is less than a third of the Earth’s width. Earth would be the size of a dime if the Moon were the size of a coffee bean."
"The Moon takes 27 days to orbit Earth."
"The International Astronomical Union (IAU) recognizes 288 planetary moons orbiting our solar system’s eight planets."
"The Moon’s atmosphere is thin and weak. Known as an exosphere, it does not protect from the Sun’s radiation"
"The Moon is 4 times smaller than the Earth."
"How did the Moon get created? According to NASA, “The Moon likely formed after a Mars-sized body collided with Earth several billion years ago.”"
"The Moon and Earth exert a gravitational pull on each other. On Earth, the Moon’s gravitational pull causes the oceans to bulge out on both the side closest to the Moon and the side farthest from the Moon. These bulges create high tides. The low points are where low tides occur.”"
"The Moon is getting about one inch farther away from Earth every year."
"The Moon is believed to be 4.53 billion years old."
"The Moon has huge craters and massive mountains."
