Description
The Moon is Earth's only natural satellite. It orbits around Earth at an average distance of 384399 km. Its orbital period and its rotation period are synchronized at 29.5 days by Earth's gravity pulling on the Moon. This makes the Moon tidally locked to Earth, always facing it with the same side. Conversely, the Moon's gravitational pull produces tidal forces on Earth, which are the main driver of Earth's tides.
