The Moon (Latin: luna) is the only natural satellite of the Earth, and the fifth largest satellite in the Solar System. It is the largest natural satellite of a planet in the Solar System relative to the size of its primary, having 27% the diameter and 60% the density of Earth, resulting in 1⁄81 its mass.

In the Theosophical view the moon is regarded as a dead planet that was inhabited in the past. The moon belongs to the previous Planetary Chain from which the earth derives. Being a dead body, its influence on earth is regarded as harmful for the most part.
