The moon, also known as the Earth's Moon, is an astronomical body that orbits the planet and serves as the planet's sole permanent natural satellite. It is the fifth-largest satellite in the Solar System and the largest among planetary satellites in terms of size relative to the planet it orbits. It is thought to have formed when a massive rock smashed into the earth around 4.5 billion years ago, shortly after the solar system began to form. In 1610, the Moon was discovered. It is 384,400 kilometres away from the Earth.
