Moon Statistics Orbital period = /days Orbital period = /days Rotational period = /days Rotational period = /days The Moon's gravity is one-sixth of the Earth's gravity. The Moon's gravity is one-sixth of the Earth's gravity.

The Moon's Surface The moon has two main kinds of surface: Maria, Highlands. The moon has two main kinds of surface: Maria, Highlands. The Maria are lower in altitude than the Highlands, but there is no water on the Moon so they are not literally seas. The Maria are lower in altitude than the Highlands, but there is no water on the Moon so they are not literally seas.

A Ring Around The Moon The ring around the Moon is caused by the refraction of Moonlight from ice crystals in the upper atmosphere. The shape of the ice crystals results in a focusing of the light into a ring. The ring around the Moon is caused by the refraction of Moonlight from ice crystals in the upper atmosphere.
