Moon - Wikipedia The Moon's apparent size in Earth's sky is about the same as that of the Sun, allowing it to cover the Sun completely during a total solar eclipse The Moon is the brightest celestial object in Earth's night sky, due to its large apparent size, while the reflectance of its surface is comparable to that of asphalt
Moon Facts - NASA Science The Moon makes a complete orbit around Earth in 27 Earth days and rotates or spins at that same rate, or in that same amount of time Because Earth is moving as well – rotating on its axis as it orbits the Sun – from our perspective, the Moon appears to orbit us every 29 days

The Moon | Phases, Orbit and distance from the Earth As the Moon orbits around the Earth once per month, the angle between the Earth, the Moon and the Sun changes; we see this as the cycle of the Moon’s phases The time between successive new moons is 29 5 days (709 hours), slightly different from the Moon’s orbital period (measured against the stars) since the Earth moves a significant
Moon Fact Sheet - NSSDCA The orbit changes over the course of the year so the distance from the Moon to Earth roughly ranges from 357,000 km to 407,000 km, giving velocities ranging from 1 100 to 0 966 km s
