More Moon FactsHere are the top 5 things that make the Moon so unique.
1. The Moon is Earth's only permanent natural satellite.
2. Moon dust smells like gunpowder.
3. The Moon keeps the same face pointing toward the Earth.

5. The Moon is visible in daylight nearly every day.
No, the moon has no water and has only a very thin and tenuous atmosphere (called an exosphere) so it cannot trap heat or insulate the surface. So, for example, there is no wind to create weather system. The Moon does, in fact, affect the Earth's climate and weather patterns in several subtle ways.
More Moon FactsThis is an optical illusion. The Moon looks large shortly after it rises when it's still touching the horizon. This is not the same as a Supermoon.
More Moon FactsNo, it doesn’t generate its own light. “Moonlight” is really sunlight that has reflected off of the Moon’s surface. In the same way that the Sun illuminates Earth, the Moon reflects the Sun's light, making it appear bright in our sky.
