Is the moon a planete

Answer 1

The moon is not a planet.

You've all probably heard about the International Astronomical Union (IAU) decision to define a planet -- probably because it clarified that there is a big belt of icy objects out beyond the orbit of Neptune, and we now know that Pluto is one of thousands of them. The IAU definition also excludes moons from being planets. But did you know our moon functions like a planet? It has a lot to teach us about how planets form and evolve. Another hallmark of planets is that they have active geology. The big, dark splotches you see on the moon's surface are lava flows. Yes, there were active volcanoes on the moon. There aren't any volcanic cones, because the lava was very fluid and flowed out through cracks and into low-lying areas. The Apollo samples contain small beads of volcanic glass that tell us there were giant fire-fountains on the moon too. Though volcanic activity on the moon ended about 3 billion years ago, the Apollo missions picked up thousands of earthquakes on the moon, or moonquakes. Moonquakes tell us that the moon is not geologically dead. It's still acting like a planet today. Let me sum this up for the people who don't know most of these words in here. The moon isn't a planet. But acts like a planet today. Earth's moon (Luna) is not a planet, it is a moon. It does not have an independent orbit (it orbits a planet, not a star).

Answer 2

No, the moon orbits the Earth. That makes it the satellite of a planet and precludes it from being a planet.

Answer 3

No, it is a satellite that orbits the earth. Planets orbit a star.

Answer 4

No it is a natural satellite.

Answer 5

The noon is not a planet none landed on it its an angel coming through portals through the heavens.
