The Moon is slowly moving away from the Earth at a rate of 3.8 cm (1.5 inches) per year.

One ''Moon Day'' is about 14 Earth days, same for the ''Moon Nights.''¿ The Moon is home to some massive mountains. The highest mountain is about 5,500 meters (18,045 feet) high, more than half the height of Mount Everest.¿ The Moon is an excellent source of building materials, water, fuel, oxygen, and other useful resources that are significant for modern electronics and batteries.
