		It may seem curious that the inclination of the lunar orbit and the tilt of the Moon's axis of rotation are listed as varying considerably.
		The points where the Moon's orbit crosses the ecliptic are called the "lunar nodes": the North (or ascending) node is where the Moon crosses to the North of the ecliptic; the South (or descending) node where it crosses to the South.
		For escaping at the surface of the Moon from the Moon and the Earth, the escape speed is the square root of the sum of the squares of the separate escape speeds of 2.4 and 1.5 km/s, is 2.8 km/s.

		The gravitional attraction that the Moon exerts on the Earth is the cause of tides in the sea.
		The most accepted theory states that the Moon originated from the collision between the young Earth and an impactor the size of Mars (sometimes called Theia) and was formed from material ejected from Earth as a result of the collision.

		The tidal bulges on Earth, caused by the Moon's gravity, are carried ahead of the apparent position of the Moon by the Earth's rotation, in part because of the friction of the water as it slides over the ocean bottom and into or out of bays and estuaries.
		For escaping at the surface of the Moon from the Moon and the Earth, the escape velocity is the square root of the sum of the squares of the separate escape velocities of 2.4 and 1.5 km/s, or 2.8 km/s.

		In the of craters on Earth a crater lake often accumulates and in craters formed meteorites a central island (caused by rebounding crustal rock after impact) is usually a prominent feature in lake.
		Their work remained controversial but the American Apollo Moon landings which were in progress the time provided evidence of the rate impact cratering on the Moon.
		Few underwater craters have been discovered of the difficulty of surveying the sea the rapid rate of change of the bottom; and the subduction of the ocean floor into the interior by processes of continental drift.

		The Moon is not a primordial object; it is an evolved terrestrial planet with internal zoning similar to that of Earth.
		The Moon possesses a thick crust (60 km), a fairly uniform lithosphere (60-1000 km), and a partly liquid asthenosphere (1000-1740 km); a small iron core at the bottom of the asthenosphere is possible but unconfirmed.
		Early in its history, the Moon was melted to great depths to form a "magma ocean." The lunar highlands contain the remnants of early, low density rocks that floated to the surface of the magma ocean.

	The Moon
		The Moon's gravitational attraction is stronger on the side of the Earth nearest to the Moon and weaker on the opposite side.
		Actually, the Moon appears to wobble a bit (due to its slightly non-circular orbit) so that a few degrees of the far side can be seen from time to time, but the majority of the far side (left) was completely unknown until the Soviet spacecraft Luna 3 photographed it in 1959.
		There were three principal theories: co-accretion which asserted that the Moon and the Earth formed at the same time from the Solar Nebula; fission which asserted that the Moon split off of the Earth; and capture which held that the Moon formed elsewhere and was subsequently captured by the Earth.

		Another view is that when the Moon passes through Earth’s magnetotail—a long, trailing limb of the Earth’s magnetosphere on the side facing away from the Sun—it blowtorches the Moon influencing the near side deposits.
		Foing explained that the current consensus is that a Mars-size planet embryo impacted the proto-Earth, and that the Moon resulted from the re-accretion of material ejected during the impact, coming mostly from that impacting object.
		Furthermore, the Moon is important because it is accessible and its surface is pure geology—without the effects of climate and biology—allowing scientists to study how silicate planets work and evolve.
