:The Moon's '''orbit''' is about 30 times Earth's '''diameter'''. The Moon's '''diameter''' is about 1/4 of Earth's diameter. And no, the Sun does not rotate around Earth so it is not a natural satellite of the Earth. ] (]) 08:23, 16 July 2024 (UTC) | |||

On 10 June 2024, it was proposed that this article be moved from Moon to The Moon. The result of the discussion was Not moved. |
Mass of the Moon needs to be fixed
5.972168e24 kg (mass of the Earth from the Misplaced Pages entry for Earth)
x 0.0123 (ratio of Moon to Earth, agrees with IAU recommendation of 0.0123000371)
= 7.3457664e22 kg (mass of Moon)
or 7.346e22 kg (keeping the same sig. fig. as is currently on the page)

- As far as I can tell from both the cited sources and direct calculations like those above, the current stated figure of 7.342 × 10 is indeed just slightly wrong, and was first (I presume accidentally, as a typo) introduced in this 2015 edit. Remsense 诉 18:34, 14 August 2024 (UTC)
