The Moon is about 1/4 the size of Earth
With a diameter of 3,474 km, the Moon is the 5th largest moon in our solar system.
Unlike Earth, where a day lasts 24 hours, a lunar day (from one sunrise to the next on the Moon) takes about 29.5 Earth days. This means that on the Moon, you'd experience about two weeks of continuous daylight followed by two weeks of darkness. Our lunar time calculation shows how time would pass during a single lunar day cycle.
