No it is not. The Moon is classified as a terrestrial "planet" because of its size and composition. Thanks for using ChaCha!

About Moon
The moon is a planet that revolves around the Earth. Reflection from the sun's rays make the moon 'shine'; it does not give out light of its own. In ancient times the Moon was thought to represent the feminine nature, while the Sun was thought to represent the more active, male nature.
