Mon
Mon, or Moon, is Earth's only natural satellite. It orbits our planet approximately every 27.3 days, influencing ocean tides through gravitational pull. The Moon's surface is made up of rocky, cratered terrain with no atmosphere, creating stark shadows and extreme temperature changes. Its phases—new moon, first quarter, full moon, and last quarter—result from our viewing angles of the Sun-lit side. The Moon has played a vital role in human culture, navigation, and scientific exploration. Its proximity to Earth makes it a key object of study to understand planetary processes and the history of our solar system.
