Let $R$ be a commutative ring and $M$ be an $R$-module. The annihilator graph of $M$, denoted by $AG(M)$ is a simple undirected graph associated to $M$ whose the set of vertices is $Z_R(M) \setminus {\rm Ann}_R(M)$ and two distinct vertices $x$ and $y$ are adjacent if and only if ${\rm Ann}_M(xy)\neq {\rm Ann}_M(x) \cup {\rm Ann}_M(y)$. In this paper, we study the diameter and the girth of $AG(M)$ and we characterize all modules whose annihilator graph is complete. Furthermore, we look for the relationship between the annihilator graph of $M$ and its zero-divisor graph.
