Here are some interesting facts about the moon:
- The moon was formed 4.6 billion years ago and is in synchronous rotation with Earth¹.
- The moon has a surface area of 14,658,000 square miles, covered in a layer of crushed and powdered rocks called regolith¹.
- The moon makes Earth more livable by moderating its wobble and causing tides¹.
- The moon and the sun look about the same size from Earth because they are 400 times smaller and closer, respectively¹.
- Only 59% of the moon's surface is visible from Earth¹.
- The moon rotates at 10 miles per hour, much slower than Earth's 1000 miles per hour¹.

I hope you find these facts interesting!
