The natural satellite of Earth is called the Moon. It is the fifth largest moon in the solar system and plays a significant role in various Earth phenomena such as tides and lunar phases. The Moon has a synchronous rotation with Earth, meaning it always shows the same face to our planet. This has enabled humans to explore its surface, leading to significant scientific discoveries, including data about the early solar system. The Moon has captivated human interest and mythology throughout history, influencing culture, calendars, and art, owing to its brightness and visibility in the night sky.
