Linked from

The 15 pages that link to Moon, each with the reason it gives.

• Tidal lockingBroader topic: Its synchronous rotation is the familiar case of one lunar hemisphere facing Earth.

• Escape velocityBroader topic: Its much smaller mass and radius give a surface escape speed of about 2.38 kilometers per second.

• MarsCompared with: The Moon provides a nearby comparison for impact cratering without Mars’s atmospheric and hydrologic history.

• Hill sphereRelated: Its orbit lies far inside Earth's Hill sphere, illustrating a long-lived satellite orbit.

• MercuryCompared with: Its appearance resembles Mercury’s, but the Moon lacks a planet-sized iron core and global magnetic field.

• Synchronous rotationBroader topic: Its synchronous rotation keeps its near side generally facing Earth.

• Terrestrial planetRelated: The Moon offers a nearby record of rocky-world formation and impact history, though it is not a planet.

• ExomoonCompared with: It is the familiar benchmark for comparing size, orbit, and detectability beyond the Solar System.

• The Tale of the Bamboo CutterRelated: The Moon is Kaguya-hime’s homeland and the destination of the tale’s final procession.

• Geometric albedoBroader topic: Its measured geometric albedo provides a familiar example of a dark airless surface.

• Lunar deityNarrower topic: Its visible phases and prominence provide the shared celestial basis for lunar deities.

• Night skyRelated: Its changing phase and position reshape the appearance of the night sky.

• Near side of the MoonNarrower topic: The near side is one hemisphere of Earth's natural satellite.

• Internal structure of the MoonNarrower topic: The interior is one part of the Moon’s broader physical and geological system.

• Theory of tidesRelated: Its changing position supplies the dominant periodic tidal forcing.
