How Many Moons Are in Our Solar System? Naturally-formed bodies that orbit planets are called moons, or planetary satellites. The best-known planetary satellite is, of course, Earth’s Moon. Since it was named before we learned about other planetary satellites, it is called simply “Moon.” According to the NASA/JPL Solar System Dynamics team, the current tally […]

Several theories about our Moon’s formation vie for dominance, but almost all share that point in common: near the time of the solar system’s formation, about 4.5 billion years ago, something ― perhaps a single object the size of Mars, perhaps a series of objects ― crashed into the young Earth and flung enough molten and vaporized debris into space to create the Moon.
27 juin 2024 · Moon - Phases, Orbit, Tides: The study of the Moon’s motions has been central to the growth of knowledge not only about the Moon itself but also about fundamentals of celestial mechanics and physics. As the stars appear to move westward because of Earth’s daily rotation and its annual motion about the Sun, so the Moon slowly moves eastward, rising later each day and passing through its ...
