The Moon is [[Earth]]'s only natural satellite. Its diameter is about one-quarter that of the earth. It is the largest natural satellite as compared to its primary in the solar system and the fifth largest natural satellite in the solar system. It is the only natural body outside of earth that has been visited by humans, the Apollo program from 1969 to 1972.

== Characteristics ==
 
−
The moon is slightly ellipsoid about 1738 km in radius. The radius of the moon is about a quarter that of the Earth. Because it is far away it looks small, about half a degree wide. The gravity on the moon is 1.625 m/s<sup2</sup>, about one-sixth of the Earth's gravity, therefore, an object on the moon's surface will weigh about one-sixth as it does on the earth. The surface of the moon consists of rock and dusty regolith, and is comprised of maria, craters, mountains, rifts, and scarps. Surface temperatures range from -171°C (-276°F) during the lunar night to 140°C (284°F) during the lunar day, the surface receives a high amount of ionizing radiation from the sun as well as cosmic radiation.

−
The orbit of the moon is inclined to the ecliptic at about 5°, the only natural in the solar system to do so, the others are inclined to the primary's equator). The moon's rotational axis tilted from the ecliptic about 1.5°. The semi-major axis is about 380000 km
 
−
 
−
As the moon is tidally locked to the earth, the same side always faces the earth, except some variation due to libration, from the earth, we are able to see about 59% of the moon's surface over time. The apparent diameter of the moon from the earth's surface is about one-half degree, about the same as that of the sun, so, during solar eclipses, the moon may pass slightly north or south of the center of the sun creating a partial eclipse, or pass close to apoapsis creating an annular eclipse, or covering the entire sun, creating a total eclipse. The sidereal day on the moon is about 27.33 earth days

The Moon moves slowly away from the earth at a rate of 3.8cm per year, due to the effect of tidal dissipation.

Orbiter 2016 includes a number of spaceports modeled in the simulator. Below is a listing of those ports. Any spaceport that indicates 0 visible pads includes a pad with zero dimension. These pads can be modified to include dimensions to make them useable. Any spaceport can be modified by the user and new spaceports can be added. Instructions to do so is included in Orbiter.pdf.[1]
