What does LUNAR mean in Scrabble?
adjective
Relating to, caused by, or resembling the moon.
Lunar describes anything that has to do with Earth's moon, whether it is a physical place, a measurement, or a quality something seems to share with it. A lunar eclipse, a lunar month, and lunar soil all take their name this way rather than from the sun or the stars. The word traces back to the Latin luna, and today it survives mainly in scientific and astronomical writing rather than in everyday conversation. Missions that land spacecraft on the moon are routinely described as lunar missions.
How LUNAR is used
Common in astronomy, navigation and space exploration, rarely used outside technical or scientific contexts.
- The lunar surface is covered with craters formed over billions of years.
