The footsteps last permanently on the surface of the moon until an object comes in contact with them.

In case you were curious, the reason why the footsteps will last so long is because the moon does not have an atmosphere interacting with the surface.

If you went to the moon today why would Neil Armstrong's footsteps still be there?

Yes, the footsteps are likely still there. There is no rain, wind nor any weather on the moon to disturb the footprints of Armstrong and the eleven other men who have walked on the moon. The only thing which would disturb the footsteps is objects (spacecraft, meteoroids, etc.) which impact the lunar surface. Given the area of the lunar surface and the fact that the footsteps are on the side of the moon facing the Earth, this is unlikely.


How long will footsteps stay on the moon?

Footsteps on the moon will stay visible for a very long time, possibly for millions of years. This is because there is no wind or water on the moon to disturb the surface and erase the footprints. The lack of atmosphere means that there is no erosion process like on Earth.


Why do your footsteps remain on the moon?

no winds


Why does the Moon's surface temperature vary greatly?

it has no atmosphere to smooth out temperatures, and each day and night lasts a fortnight


How many footsteps would it take you to get to the moon?

349,456,098,134,544.


Is the moon fake?

No, the moon is very real. The footsteps of Neil Armstrong, the first man to step foot on the moon, are on the moon.


The footsteps of the astronauts that landed on the moon in 1969 are still there?

Yes


Why are the first footsteps on the moon still there now?

The first footsteps on the Moon remain because the lunar environment lacks significant weathering processes. There is no atmosphere, wind, or water to erode the surface, and the Moon's low gravity means that footprints, created in the fine lunar regolith, are not disturbed easily. Additionally, the lack of biological activity means that the marks made by astronauts in 1969 have been preserved for decades.


Which phase of the moon appears to have less surface and sunlight as the days progress?

If I'm interpreting your question correctly, there are three phases like that. First is the waning gibbous, which comes after the full moon and lasts until the last quarter, also known as the half moon. That's the second one, the last quarter, and the third is the waning crescent, which lasts from the half moon to the new moon.


Who are the two persons made their footsteps on the Moon first?

On July 20, 1969, Apollo 11 astronauts Neil Armstrong and Edwin E. "Buzz" Aldrin, the first men to land on the moon, plant the U.S. flag on the lunar surface.


Would footsteps stay on the moon?

Yes, because the moon doesn't have a strong enough atmosphere to support weather.


Why there no rain in the surface of the moon?

Due to the Moon's low gravity, it cannot hold in an atmosphere, meaning it cannot have weather. This means erosion cannot occur, making craters, footsteps, etc. never disappear. It also means it cannot rain at all on the Moon.
