The Moon is 2,159 miles in Diameter.
The Moon has a circumference of 6,779 Miles.
The surface temperature on the Moon ranges between
Minus 240 Degrees F. to Plus 240 Degrees F.,
or
Minus 150 Degrees C. to Plus 120 Degrees C.
The central core of the Moon is thought to be molten iron.
The gravity on the Moon is 1 / 6 that of the Earth's gravity.
The Moon spins completely around once every 27.3 days. That is the exact amount of time that it takes for the Moon to travel completely around the Earth. So, as a consequence, the same side of the Moon always faces the Earth.

The average distance from the Earth to the Moon is 384,399 kilometres (238,854 mi), which is about 30 times the diameter of the Earth. At this distance, it takes sunlight reflected from the lunar surface approximately 1.3 seconds to reach Earth. The Moon's diameter is 3,474 kilometres (2,159 mi), which is about 3.7 times smaller than the Earth, making it the Solar System's fifth largest moon, both by diameter and mass, ranking behind Ganymede, Titan, Callisto, and Io.

Relative to the other moons in the solar system, it's not the biggest. The biggest moon in the solar system is Ganymede, or Titan if you count the atmosphere.
