"Earth's very own Satellite, our Moon"

 

The Moon may be the Earth's only natural satellite, but with a diameter of 3,474 km, it is more than
a quarter the size of Earth itself, and the largest moon in our galaxy. Because of its
smaller size in relation to the Earth, it's gravity is only one-sixth that of Earth.

Remember the giant leaps of the Apollo astronauts?
