Why doesn't our moon have a name?
545276
The moon (from the Old English for a month - the lunar cycle) does have a classical name like other satellites.  it is Luna, as the answerer above has said.  that is why, even in English, we talk about "the lunar orbit," or a "lunar eclipse."  Luna is the Roman goddess of the moon (Selene in Greek.)  Further more, the moon is called the moon in English, not in French - la lune, Spanish - la luna, Arabic - qamar or the other languages in the world.  Here is a link to the various names of the moon (including links to other languages) have fun: http://www.fabandpp.org/cotm/moons.htm

the moon is always there, but it is probably a new moon, a phase of the moon where the sun doesn't shine light on it at the popsition that we can see it. The other stages include combinations of waning, waxing & gibbious and cresent

What confuses you about the moon? Most planets have them. Ours is old, lifeless, has a high reflectivity, and rotates once for every revolution (so we always see the same side). Why are you confused?

The Moon is Earth's only natural satellite. It has no formal name other than "The Moon", although in English it is occasionally called Luna (Latin for moon), or Selene (Greek for moon), to distinguish it from the generic "moon" (natural satellites of other planets are also called moons). Its symbol is a crescent. The terms lunar, selene/seleno-, and -cynthion (from the Lunar deities Selene and Cynthia) refer to the Moon (aposelene, selenocentric, pericynthion, etc.).\n\nThe average distance from the Moon to the Earth is 384,403 kilometers (238,857 miles). The Moon's diameter is 3,476 kilometres (2,160 mi). Reflected sunlight from the Moon's surface reaches Earth in 1.3 seconds (at the speed of light).\n\nThe first man-made object to land on the Moon was Luna 2 in 1959, the first photographs of the otherwise occluded far side of the Moon were made by Luna 3 in the same year, and the first people to land on the Moon came aboard Apollo 11 in 1969.

Because the Moon is round and the Sun is the only source of light in our solar system - only half of it can be illuminated at one time.  But sometimes the side we don't see it lit up - when we have a new Moon.

Your answer is A and F.  The moon never had plate tectonics, or at least never had it like we have it on earth (which does not normally cause mares), and there was never enough water to influence eruptions on the moon, and water mixing wouldn't cause that type of eruption anyways.

For many years, we knew of 16 moons for the largest planet in our solar system. In the last few years, about two dozen new moons have been announced by astronomers. However, being announced does not mean that these become "official" moons of the planet. To be recognized by the scientific community as a new moon involves a process which may take several years - and some announced objects never get recognized at all!

Check it out 'cause I think it's Greek\nand maybe you confused it with Artemis.

"Luna" is the name used by astronomers when they speak of our Moon.  It is our moon's "official name"  although it's hardly ever used.

Depending on the angle of the light, mountains and craters will cast shadows, but the large patches of darker material on the moon which help to define the "man in the moon" are known as lunar mares. These mares, or "seas" are actually basaltic plains caused by basaltic eruptions on the moon when it was young and geologically active.

We don't have to explain it. Most stars are multiple, some are not. \nBy good fortune, we have a single star system which means we can have a solar system and stable orbits. The tidal forces would have been too strong from a multiple star system for planets to form. The single star system also allows for moons around the planets. Without our moon we probably would not have life on Earth in the first place, among other things.

Our moon isnt the only spherical moon. The reason why some moons are spheres and others arent is that only when objects are massive enough do they become spheres due to their gravity acting on themselves. \n\nTake a look at some of the moons of the outer planets, like titan as the first person mentioned, many of those are spheres.

There's always been heavy debate as to whether or not we've actually been to the moon, etc. and there is actual evidence that we haven't. maybe what you're seeing is a farce, maybe it's just some scientific anomaly. Who outside of the space program can say for sure?

we already have a second moon called cruithne. it dosen't orbit the same way as the moon. it orbits in a kind of horseshoe shape. it is a captured asteroid. there are also another three called (54509) 2000 PH5, (85770) 1998 UP1 and 2002 AA29. cruithne was discovered in 1986, it's 5km in diameter and is 30 times the distance of the earth to the moon.

Well it's a natural phenomenon. If moon is not rotating then some thing else any where else in our solar system will do something to compensate for this energy.\n\nRemember : Energy can neither be created nor be destoyed and according to the energy conservation principle this energy will have to be redirected . So it can be millions of other possibilities :)\n\nLike days will be shorter ans earth rotates fast to use that excess energy or something like that.\n\n:)

If someone would name a freakin' penis why wouldn't they have a name for everything else?

why don't u ask this question to our planet?it must give u the right answer,i asked it and it said its name was earth but u should ask it once more,in case it has changed its name from earth to something else..................like sun.
