Although the extent of the Great Wall is some 6400 kilometers (4000 miles), it is only a maximum of 30 meters (95 feet) in width at its gates, and the material of the wall is similar to the surrounding land. So it would be far too narrow to observe from the Moon. (Even from low Earth orbit, astronauts need binoculars to make it out.)

Why is the Great Wall of China so famous?

It is so famous because it is the longest man-made structure and is said it can be seen from space. The Wall is much more than just an engineering triumph. It is in fact one of the direct links with China's legendary emperors that lived in the past. The Wall is made of wood, tamped earth, stone and brick over parched sides of the mountains, in north-eastern China. Many travellers come to China due to Great wall.
