The moon’s volume is 50 times less than that of the earths.
The gravitational pull is significantly less than that of the earth and all weights on the moon
are 6 times lighter. The temperature of the moon’s surface during the exposure to sunlight is
130° Celsius, while during the moonlight night which lasts two weeks is –158° Celsius.
It takes the moon 29 days, 12 hours, 44 minutes and 2.8 seconds to circle the globe.
