Units explained
Lunar Mass (Moon)
The lunar mass (M(L)) is about 7.342E22 kg.
The mass of the Moon, used as a unit for natural satellites.
Planetary science, for comparing moons of the solar system.
Determined from the Moon's orbit and modern spacecraft tracking.
Kilogram
The kilogram (kg) is the SI base unit of mass, defined by fixing the Planck constant h at 6.62607015E-34 J s.
From Greek 'khilioi' (thousand) plus 'gramma' (small weight).
The worldwide base unit of mass in science, commerce, and everyday life.
Adopted in 1795; redefined through the Planck constant on 20 May 2019.
