Earth’s Moon Click here to go back to the Solar System The moon is made of a small rich core that used to be molten (hot liquid), but is now solid. This is surrounded by a layer of iron rich rocks that we call the plastic asthenosphere. (Plastic here just means non-rigid.) Then there is the lithosphere which is just more rocks – only less dense. Finally, on the surface is the crust. Diameter: 3476 km Mass: 73,480,000,000,000,000,000,000 kg Temperature: -292 F to 266 F Syndic Period (from new moon to new moon): 29.531 days ||
