Facts about our Moon :

1)First, how was the moon created?The Moon was created when a huge rock (About the size of the Planet Mars) hit Earth around the time of the formation of Solar System (Around 4.5 Billion Years ago).
2)Do we have just one moon?
No, Not just one.It's two, actually. Scientists have discovered a 3 mile asteroid thats caught in the earths gravitational field and is orbitting the earth. It takes 770 years for this moon to complete it's orbitting around earth.
3)Why does moon have craters? 
The moon is heavily cratered because of the high collisions of space rocks on the surface of moon.The craters don't erode because the moon has no atmosphere, so no wind or rain, so no surface erosion and not many earthquakes or volcanoes too.

4)Shape of Moon?
The Moon has actually the shape of an egg.
