About Moon

The Moon es el único satélite natural de Earth. Orbita Earth a una distancia promedio de 384,399 kilómetros (238,854 mi). Debido a que The Moon sigue una trayectoria elíptica, su distancia de Earth varía durante el año, oscilando entre 357,000–407,000 kilómetros (222,000–253,000 mi). una distancia aproximadamente 30 veces el ancho de Earth. Completa una órbita en relación con Earth y el Sun (sinódicamente) cada 29.5 días. The Moon y Earth están unidas por atracción gravitacional, que es más fuerte en los lados que se enfrentan entre sí. Las fuerzas de marea resultantes son el principal impulsor de las mareas de Earth, y han atraído a The Moon para que siempre mire a Earth con el mismo lado cercano. Este bloqueo de marea sincroniza efectivamente el período de rotación de The Moon con su período orbital.
