Moon Facts

Lunar Cycle

The moon completes one full cycle (new moon to new moon) in approximately 29.5 days, known as a synodic month.

Moon Distance

The moon's distance from Earth varies between 356,400 km (perigee) and 406,700 km (apogee) due to its elliptical orbit.

Tidal Effects

The moon's gravitational pull causes ocean tides. Spring tides occur during new and full moons, neap tides during quarter moons.

Cultural Significance

Moon phases have been used for timekeeping, agriculture, and religious ceremonies throughout human history.
