Description

The Moon is Earth's only natural satellite. It orbits at an average distance of 384,400 km (238,900 mi), about 30 times the diameter of Earth. Over time Earth's gravity has caused tidal locking, causing the same side of the Moon to always face Earth. Because of this, the lunar day and the lunar month are the same length, at 29.5 Earth days. The Moon's gravitational pull – and to a lesser extent, the Sun's – are the main drivers of Earth's tides.

चंद्र पृथ्वीचा एकमात्र नैसर्गिक उपग्रह आहे. चंद्र आकारमानाप्रमाणे सूर्यमालेतील पाचवा मोठा नैसर्गिक उपग्रह आहे. पृथ्वी व चंद्रामधील अंतर ३,८४,४०० कि.मी. असून, हे अंतर पृथ्वीच्या व्यासाच्या सुमारे ३० पट आहे. चंद्राचा व्यास हा पृथ्वीच्या व्यासाच्या एक चतुर्थांशाहून थोडासा जास्त म्हणजे ३,४७६ कि.मी. आहे. याचाच अर्थ असा की चंद्राचे वस्तुमान हे पृथ्वीच्या सुमारे २% आहे तर चंद्राची गुरुत्वाकर्षण शक्ती ही पृथ्वीच्या गुरुत्वाकर्षण शक्तीच्या सुमारे १७% इतकी आहे. चंद्राला पृथ्वीभोवती एक प्रदक्षिणा घालण्याकरीता २७.३ दिवसांचा कालावधी लागतो. तसेच चंद्र, सूर्य व पृथ्वी यांच्यातील भौमितिक स्थानांमुळे दर २९.५ दिवसांनी चंद्राच्या कलांचे एक आवर्तन पूर्ण होते.चंद्राने बऱ्याच वर्षांपासून पृथ्वीला लघुग्रहांपासून संरक्षण केले आहे.
