Information about the moon

The moon is also called the moon. It is the only natural satellite in the solar system. The moon is the most obvious example of a natural satellite. In the solar system, all planets except Mercury and Venus have natural satellites. The moon is about 4.6 billion years old. The moon has a layered structure such as shell, mantle and core. The average thickness of the outermost lunar shell is about 60-65 kilometers. Below the lunar crust 1000 km is the lunar mantle, which occupies most of the moon's volume. Below the moon's mantle is the moon's core, whose temperature is about 1000 degrees, which is likely to be in a molten state. The moon is about 3476 kilometers in diameter, which is 3/ 1 1 of the earth and 1/400 of the sun. The volume of the moon is only 1/49 of that of the earth, and its mass is about 735 billion tons, which is equivalent to 1/8 1 of the mass of the earth. The gravity on the surface of the moon is almost 1/6 of that of the earth.
