"Moon" is just a classification heavenly bodies!

@stux It's funny cuz in Russian, moon is literally "Luna" but it's also both the classification of celestial bodies and the name of the Earth's moon, as in "The planet X has 10 lunas"

@biomedmax
In german it's also being used that way. "Mond" is the word. And to specify you mean the earth's moon, you'd often use the term "Erdmond". Whether this usage is scientifically correct or not, I do not know 😅
