Although the Moon is Earth's only natural satellite, there are a number of near-Earth objects (NEOs) with orbits that are in resonance with Earth. These have been called "second" moons of Earth or "minimoons". [2] [3] 469219 Kamoʻoalewa, an asteroid discovered on 27 April 2016, is possibly the most stable quasi-satellite of Earth. [4]

The rings are believed to have been present approximately 466 million years ago. [1] [7] [8] The Hirnantian glaciation may be a direct result of the rings shielding light from reaching the Earth, [9] and the rings may have existed for up to 40 million years.
Smaller moons may (and most likely do) exist around each of these planets, but are currently undetectable from Earth.

The Moon is Earth's only natural satellite. It orbits at an average distance of 384,400 km (238,900 mi), about 30 times the diameter of Earth. Tidal forces between Earth and the Moon have synchronized the Moon's orbital period (lunar month) with its rotation period at 29.5 Earth days, causing the same side of the Moon to always face Earth.
