Best Answer

No nation owns the moon. The 1967 treaty named the Treaty on Principles Governing the Activities of States in the Exploration and Use of Outer Space, including the Moon and Other Celestial Bodies, (also known as the Outer Space Treaty) explicitly forbids any government from claiming a celestial resource such as the Moon or a planet, claiming that they are the common heritage of man

No one owns the Moon.

The United Nations 1967 publication "Outer Space Treaty" states space is the "province of all mankind", and is not subject to claims on sovereignty by States.

The international Moon Treaty, finalised in 1979 and entering into force in 1984, forbids private ownership of extraterrestrial real estate.

People are selling "deeds" for bits of the moon, but they hold no legal status and are not honoured by any nation. Ownership of these deeds is seen as a novelty factor only.

No one nation on Earth owns the moon. The Outer Space Treaty states that no government is allowed to claim a celestial body as property, because they are the common heritage of mankind.

Witch nations own the moon?

None of them; by United Nations treaties, no nation owns the Moon, which is held as the common property of all mankind. Nice words, but meaningless. The settlers own the territory; they always have. If any nation were to have a claim to "own" the Moon, it would be the United States, since only American citizens have ever set foot on the Moon.
