Earth
The Earth has the only natural satellite - the Moon.
The moon is relatively large for a natural satellite. Its diameter is approximately ¼ the diameter of the Earth. It orbits the Earth at an average distance of 384.400 km.
Deimos

Due to its small size, it is not a spherical object.

Although graphene consists of an element that is abundant on Earth, its production costs are high.
This is a major obstacle to graphene finding mass application in many fields. For now, only small amounts are produced.
Silver
Silver is used in medicine wherever it is necessary to reduce the risk of bacterial infections (surgical instruments, dialysis devices).
Silver is also currently used in disinfectants and disinfectants, as well as preparations to prevent infection of wounds and burns.
