The Moon's orbit around Earth has a sidereal period of 27.3 days.

- The moon is the most constant companion of Earth and the most visible celestial object in the night sky.
- For millennia, the rhythm of the moon's phases has directed mankind; for example, the time it takes to get from one full moon to the next is nearly equivalent to the time it takes to move from one calendar month to the next.
- Many people are puzzled by the moon's orbit and phases.
- The moon, for example, always gives us the same face, but the amount of it we see varies on the moon's location in regard to the Earth and the sun.
- Despite being an Earth satellite, the moon is larger than Pluto, with a diameter of 2,159 miles (3,475 kilometers). (Our solar system has four more moons that are significantly larger.)
- The moon is somewhat bigger than one-fourth (27%) of Earth's size, a far higher ratio (1:4) than any other moon to its planet.
