===Meaning===
A [[moon]] is a large [[rock]] which [[Orbit|orbits]] a [[planet]].
===About Moons===
: [[Moon]]s are natural [[satellite]]s [[orbit]]ing a [[planet]].
: Most [[moon]]s are too small to have enough [[gravity]] to become round. They can be [[asteroid]]s that were captured into [[orbit]] by a [[planet]]s [[gravity]].
: [[Mercury]] and [[Venus]] do not have any [[moon]]s. All other [[planet]]s have one or more [[moon]]s.
