They'll be there as long as the moon is. Space is a vacuum,
there's nothing there to disturb them.

Why foot prints made on the moons surface will remain forever why?
because there is no atmosphere which means no wind so there
footprints cant be blown away.
Asked in Apollo Moon Missions, Neil Armstrong, Apollo 11
How many astronauts have worked on the moons surface?
Around 12 astronauts have worked on the moon.
Asked in The Moon
Footprints on the moon will never go away?
Footprints in the moons surface (so in the dust lying on the
moon) will never go away because there is no wind on the moon to
blow new dust over the footprints.

Asked in Astronauts
Will astronauts ever land on Saturn?
No. Saturn is a gas planet. It does not have a solid surface to
land on. The most we can hope for is that astronauts might some day
land on one of Saturn's moons.
Asked in The Moon
Is there a hole in the moon's surface?
the holes in the moons surface are where astroids hit the moons
surface
Asked in Space Travel and Exploration
Where have astronauts explored?
Astronauts have travelled to lots of places in space like Neil
Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin went to the moon and other astronauts
have gone to lots of other moons like some of Saturn's moons also
astronauts have been to the international space station.

Where did astronauts land on moon?
The moons equivalent of the outer hebradies
Asked in The Moon
Why does the moon have so many craters formed by meteoroids?
The moon has no atmosphere therefore meteoroids do not burnt or
fragment, prior to hitting the moons surface.
On Earth meteor craters quickly become disguised as weather
erosion and foliage camouflage the site of impact. The lack of
atmosphere on the moon means that once the impact crater has been
made the evidence of it never disappears over time.
Recently the use of powerful telescopes has shown that the
tracks of the lunar lander and even the footprints of astronauts
from the 1970's are still visible on the moons surface.
Asked in Science, Planet Jupiter, The Moon
How are the moons seen from the surface of Jupiter?
You would not be able to see the moons from the surface;
Jupiter's atmosphere is too thick.
Asked in Astronomy, Planetary Science, The Moon
What is the earth's moons surface like?
The moons surface is covered with regolith. There are 2 main
kinds of surface; maria and highlands. There are lots of craters
and dust. the moons sky is always black.it has no air or water
Asked in The Moon, Astronauts
How did the astronauts not float into space when they walked in the moon?
Because of the moons gravitational force.

the invention helps people see the crators and the maria on the
moons surface
Asked in Dwarf Planet Pluto
Does Pluto have water on it or it's moons?
No, Pluto does not have water on its surface. It does not have
water on its moons .
Asked in Science, Astronomy
What is the moons gravitational pull compared to earth?
the moons gravitational pull is about 1/10 that of earth. that
is why astronauts weigh so little on it.
>
Standing the same distance from each, with the same mass, the
force due to gravity of earth is approx 81 times that of the moon,
which incidentally, is also the mass of the earth compared to the
moon.
>
The comparison of gravity on the surface of each:
1 kg mass on the earths surface = 1 kg force / weight
1 kg mass on the moons surface = 1/6 kg force / weight

Asked in The Moon
Which two astronauts put the flag on the moon for the first time?
Armstrong and Aldrin wrestled with it together. The Moons
surface was harder than anticipated, the armature had some problems
and when they took off, it was blown over by their exhaust.
Asked in Astronomy, Planetary Science, The Moon
How much of the moons surface is illuminated by the sun at any time?
Half of the moons surface is illuminated by the sun at a time,
except during a lunar eclipse.
Asked in Apollo Moon Missions, The Moon, Museums
Which museum has the eagle moon landing craft?
The Eagle landing module was abandoned in the moons orbit after
the astronauts returned to the Columbia command module. When the
Columbia and crew returne dto Earth the Eagle crashed back to the
the moons surface.
The Columbia module is in the National Air and Space Museum in
Washington, DC.

Uranus is the planet that has ten moons. The moons lie closer to
the planet's surface than any other planet.
Asked in Physics, The Moon
What would be effect on mass and weight of a body if it is taken from earth surface to the surface of moon?
The mass will remain the same, but the weight will be one sixth
of what it was on earth, since weight depends on the local force of
gravity. The moons gravity is one sixth of the earths.
