1. The Moon is Earths only Permanent Natural Satellite.
It is the fifth Largest Natural Satellite in the Solar System, and the Largest among Planetary Satellites relative to the Size of the Planet that it Orbits.
2. The Moon is the Second Densest Satellite.
Among those whose densities are known anyway. The first densest is Jupiters Satellite.
3. The Moon always Shows Earth the Same Face.
The Moon is in Synchronous Rotation with Earth. Its Near Side is marked by large Dark Plains (Volcanic ‘Maria’) that fill the Spaces between the bright Ancient Crustal highlands and the Prominent impact Craters.
4. The Moons Surface is actually dark.
Although compared to the night sky it appears very bright, with a reflectance just slightly higher than that of worn asphalt. Its gravitational influence produces the ocean tides, body tides, and the slight lengthening of the day.​
5. The Sun and the Moon are not the Same Size.
From Earth, both the Sun and the Moon Look about Same Size. In fact the Moon is 400 Times Smaller than the Sun, but also 400 times Closer to Earth.
6. The Moon is drifting away from the Earth.
The Moon is moving approximately 3.8 cm away from our Planet Every Year.
7. The Moon was made When a Rock smashed into Earth.
The Most Widely-Accepted Explanation is that the Moon was Created When a rock the size of Mars Slammed into Earth, Shortly after the Solar System began forming about 4.5 Billion Years ago.
8. The Moon makes the Earth move as Well as the Tides.
Everyone knows that the Moon is partly responsible for causing the tides of our oceans and seas on Earth, with the Sun also having an effect.
However, as the Moon orbits the Earth it also causes a tide of rock to rise and fall in the same way as it does with the water.
They are not Called Earthquakes but Moonquakes. They are Caused by the gravitational influence of the Earth. Unlike quakes on Earth that last only a few minutes at most, moonquakes can last up to half an hour. They are much weaker than earthquakes though.
10. There is water on the Moon.
This is in the form of Ice Trapped Within Dust and Minerals on and under the Surface. It has been detected on areas of the Lunar Surface that are in Permanent Shadow and are therefore very cold, enabling the ice to survive. The Water on the Moon Was Likely delivered to the Surface by Comets.
How To Purchase Land On Moon
It has been about 52 Years Since the most important Milestone of Landing on the Moon.In these 52 Years, the World has advanced a lot in the Space Field, many Successful Missions have been Sent to Other Planets besides the Moon.
Ever Since the Journey to the Moon has Come within the reach of Man, the Worlds Wealthy Person have Wanted to go to the Moon, Claim the Land there, and Build a House there.
These are the People Who are Enjoying All the resources of the Earth and Every Facility of the Earth is Accessible to them so now their next Dream is to go to the Moon.One such Person is Dennis Hope Who has already claimed ownership of the Moon.In 1980, Dennis Wrote a Letter to the United Nations Claiming ownership of the Moon and asking if they had any Legal Objections to it.The United Nations did not respond to Dennis Letter after Which Dennis Considers Himself in the Clear.
After that, He Created a Website Called Lunar Embassy Where He Started Buying and Selling real estate on the Moon, and not only that, there are 6 Million People from all over the World Who have bought Land on the Moon through this Website.
Dennis Was Succeeded by his Son Chris Lemar. He is Selling An Acre of Moonshine for Just $24.99.
If this Value of the Lunar Embassy is taken into Consideration, the Total Value of the Lunar Land, Which Consists of 9 Billion 38 Crore 37 Lakh 48 Thousand 198 Acres, becomes more than 2 Trillion 34 Billion.
Can You really Buy Property on the Moon? During the Cold War Era, When the Space Race Between the United States and the Soviet Union was going on, the United Nations Established a Space Treaty.
According to this Treaty, no Nation Can Claim ownership of any Celestial Body, Such as the Moon, any Planet or any Meteorite, by reason of Sovereignty, use or Possession thereof.
That is, No Nation can Plant its Flag there and Say that it is our Land.However, Chris Lemar and his 6 Million Customers are not Governments, they are Individuals. So it can be Called a swing of this agreement, but it is still not Possible to own Property on the Moon.
In 2015, Former US President Barack Obama Signed a Space Act that allows Individuals to mine and buy and sell other Celestial Bodies, including the Moon, but still does not own the Moons Land.
According to Stephen E. Doyle, A Former NASA Deputy Director for Internal Affairs Who is also a Retired Lawyer, “You can go to the Moon and bring back Dirt or Rocks.” But You cant Just Draw some Lines on the Moon and Claim it as Yours.
That is, You cannot Own Land on the Moon.Despite this, the Commercial race for the Moon continues among many of the Worlds Largest Companies. In 2016, Moon Express became the first Private American Company to receive Government Permission to Land on the Moon.
However, the Moon Express Solar Project has not been Completed yet. The Company Wants to build a Gas Station in Space for Space Missions that Want to go far into Space.
In addition to Moon Express, the European Space Agency and Another Private Company, Planetary Resources, also have Commercial Interests in the Moon. Given Modern Science and Space Development, it is not difficult to say that Construction Projects and Property Disputes may Soon Start on the Moon as Well.
