Earth, being Earths only permanentnatural satellite. It is the fifth largest natural satellite in the Solar System, and the largest among planetary satellites relative to the size of the planet that it orbits its primary. Following Jupiters satellite Io, the Moon is second densest satellite among those whose densities are known. The Moon is thought to have formed about 4. Earth. The most widely accepted explanation is that the Moon formed from the debris left over after a giant impact between Earth and a Mars sized body called Theia. The Moon is in synchronous rotation with Earth, always showing the same face, with its near side marked by dark volcanic maria that fill the spaces between the bright ancient crustal highlands and the prominent impact craters. As seen from the Earth, it is the second brightest regularly visible celestial object in Earths sky, after the Sun. Its surface is actually dark, although compared to the night sky it appears very bright, with a reflectance just slightly higher than that of worn asphalt. Its gravitational influence produces the ocean tides, body tides, and the slight lengthening of the day. The Moons average orbital distance at the present time is 3. This is about thirty times the diameter of Earth, with its apparent size in the sky almost the same as that of the Sun due to it being 4. Moon covering the Sun nearly precisely in total solar eclipse. This matching of apparent visual size will not continue in the far future, because the Moons distance from Earth is slowly increasing. The Soviet Unions Luna programme was the first to reach the Moon with unstaffed spacecraft in 1. United States NASAApollo program achieved the only staffed missions to date, beginning with the first staffed lunar orbiting mission by Apollo 8 in 1. Apollo 1. 1. These missions returned lunar rocks which have been used to develop a geological understanding of the Moons origin, internal structure, and later history. Since the Apollo 1. Moon has been visited only by unstaffed spacecraft. Within human culture, both the Moons natural prominence in the earthly sky, and its regular cycle of phases as seen from the Earth have provided cultural references and influences for human societies and cultures since time immemorial. Such cultural influences can be found in language, lunar based calendar systems, art, and mythology. Name and etymology. The usual English proper name for Earths natural satellite is the Moon. The noun moon is derived from moone around 1. Old Englishmna dating from before 7. Proto Germanicmnn, like all Germanic language cognates. Occasionally, the name Luna is used. In literature, especially science fiction, Luna is used to distinguish it from other moons, while in poetry, the name has been used to denote personification of our moon. The principal modern English adjective pertaining to the Moon is lunar, derived from the Latin Luna. A less common adjective is selenic, derived from the Ancient Greek Selene, from which is derived the prefix seleno as in selenography. Both the Greek Selene and the Roman goddess Diana were alternatively called Cynthia. The names Luna, Cynthia, and Selene are reflected in terminology for lunar orbits in words such as apolune, pericynthion, and selenocentric. The name Diana is connected to dies meaning day.

Earth and the Moon together in the primordial accretion disk which does not explain the depletion of metals in the Moon. These hypotheses also cannot account for the high angular momentum of the EarthMoon system. The evolution of the Moon and a tour of the Moon. The prevailing hypothesis is that the EarthMoon system formed as a result of the impact of a Mars sized body named Theia with the proto Earth giant impact, that blasted material into orbit about the Earth that then accreted to form the present Earth Moon system. The far side of the Moon has a crust that is 3. Moon. This is thought to be due to the Moon having been amalgamated from two different bodies. This hypothesis, although not perfect, perhaps best explains the evidence. Eighteen months prior to an October 1. Bill Hartmann, Roger Phillips, and Jeff Taylor challenged fellow lunar scientists You have eighteen months. Go back to your Apollo data, go back to your computer, do whatever you have to, but make up your mind. Dont come to our conference unless you have something to say about the Moons birth. At the 1. Kona, Hawaii, the giant impact hypothesis emerged as the most popular. Before the conference, there were partisans of the three traditional theories, plus a few people who were starting to take the giant impact seriously, and there was a huge apathetic middle who didnt think the debate would ever be resolved. Afterward there were essentially only two groups the giant impact camp and the agnostics. Giant impacts are thought to have been common in the early Solar System. Computer simulations of a giant impact have produced results that are consistent with the mass of the lunar core and the present angular momentum of the EarthMoon system. These simulations also show that most of the Moon derived from the impactor, rather than the proto Earth. More recent simulations suggest a larger fraction of the Moon derived from the original Earth mass. Studies of meteorites originating from inner Solar System bodies such as Mars and Vesta show that they have very different oxygen and tungsten isotopic compositions as compared to Earth, whereas Earth and the Moon have nearly identical isotopic compositions. The isotopic equalization of the Earth Moon system might be explained by the post impact mixing of the vaporized material that formed the two,3. The great amount of energy released in the impact event and the subsequent re accretion of that material into the Earth Moon system would have melted the outer shell of Earth, forming a magma ocean. Similarly, the newly formed Moon would also have been affected and had its own lunar magma ocean estimates for its depth range from about 5. While the giant impact hypothesis might explain many lines of evidence, there are still some unresolved questions, most of which involve the Moons composition. In 2. 00. 1, a team at the Carnegie Institute of Washington reported the most precise measurement of the isotopic signatures of lunar rocks. To their surprise, the team found that the rocks from the Apollo program carried an isotopic signature that was identical with rocks from Earth, and were different from almost all other bodies in the Solar System. Because most of the material that went into orbit to form the Moon was thought to come from Theia, this observation was unexpected. In 2. 00. 7, researchers from the California Institute of Technology announced that there was less than a 1 chance that Theia and Earth had identical isotopic signatures. Published in 2. 01. Apollo lunar samples showed that the Moon has the same composition as Earth,3. Moon formed far from Earths orbit or from Theia. Variations on the giant impact hypothesis may explain this data.
