The moon orbits the earth. It is one quarter the size on Earth. We only ever see one side of the Moon.

When the sun and the moon are at a 90 degree angle to Earth it is a Neap Tide. When the form a straight line, it is known as a Spring Tide.

How was the Moon Created? Scientists believe the moon was once part of earth. However a Mars sized object collided with earth and it broke off. The moon now acts as Earths only natural satellite.

Landing Hoax Conspiracy > One of the arguments from to prove the moon landing hoax theory involves the shadows that illuminated from the lunar surface when the pictures that were sent back to us. They argue that if this is not a hoax, why is it that facts about the moon state there are no shadows in space. This argument about this moon landing hoax comes from believers that feel the sun is the only source of light in the universe. When you think of the moon, you must realize that the sun is not the only source of light on the moon and that the lunar surface reflects its own light which illuminates all things on the surface. Therefore the moon landing was NOT a hoax. > ** The Fluttering Flag ** > Another part of the moon landing hoax theory deals with the American flag. The picture that was sent back showed this flag fluttering as in a wind. Many people believe that this is proof the moon landing was a hoax. However, experts, in an attempt to defend the landing against the moon landing hoax theory explained that a vacuum has no friction. On the moon things don't stop moving as quickly as they do on Earth, so when the astronauts got the flag attached to the surface and straightened, it stayed there longer than what we are accustomed to. Hence the picture was taken with the flag waving is proof that the moon landing hoax theory is incorrect. > ** Driving the Rover ** > The pictures of the astronauts driving the Rover also proved to many that this was a moon landing hoax However, the projection of the speed of a film showing the astronauts driving in the moon proves that it really did happen. There were no clouds of dust rinsing from the tires of the Rover because moon dust returns directly to the surface. Therefore it was not possible back in 1969 to have this type of controlled environment in which to display a moon landing hoax.

Gravity on the Moon The moon is 1/4 the size of Earth, so the mons gravity is much less than earths gravity. The gravity on the moon is 1/6 of Earths gravity which. The gravity on the moon is so little that if you attached wings to your arms, you could fly with your own arm power.

Drifting Away The moon is slowly drifting away from Earth. this will stop in 50 billion years. However no one will care because we will be dead thanks to an explosion on the sun.
