the moon is so far!

The moon is the Earth's only natural satellite and the fifth largest moon in the solar system. It is approximately 238,855 miles from Earth and has a diameter of 2,159 miles. It was formed about 4.5 billion years ago from debris left over after a Mars-sized object collided with the Earth.

The moon has no atmosphere, no water, and temperatures can range from a scorching 127°C to a freezing -173°C. Despite these harsh conditions, the moon has been the subject of much study and exploration, with the first successful moon landing taking place on July 20, 1969 as part of the Apollo 11 mission.

The moon has a significant effect on life on Earth, controlling the tides and affecting the length of the day. It also has cultural and historical significance, featuring in myths, legends, and art across many civilizations.
