America, 840 lbs. The Russians brought back less than would fill a Coke can, and an additional 20 lbs. of Moon rock (severely damaged by Earth's atmosphere) was found on the ice in Antarctica, long after Apollo. In fact, it was only by comparison with the Apollo rocks that these scorched and melted rocks, damaged by Earth's atmosphere, the heat of entry, and the water in Earth's environment, were determined to be of lunar origin.
What else can I help you with?
How much did all the moon rocks brought back by the Apollo astronauts weigh?
Approximately 382 kilograms (842 pounds) of moon rocks were brought back by the Apollo astronauts during the six successful moon landing missions.
Why was Apollo 17 lunar rover left on the moon?
Flat Tire and no jack?Actually it would have required too much fuel to bring back and since it was designed for the moon there was no reason to. future moon travelers may find a use for it.
What did scientists learn by studying the rocks astronauts brought back from the moon?
Scientists learned important information about the moon's formation, history, and composition by studying the rocks brought back by astronauts. They found that the moon is much older than previously thought, provided evidence of past volcanic activity, and discovered similarities between moon rocks and certain rocks on Earth.
Is there any gravity on the moon and the astronaut on the moon?
Yes, there is gravity on the moon, but it is much weaker than on Earth. The gravitational pull on the moon is about 1/6th of that on Earth, so astronauts on the moon experience lower gravity.
How much oxygen is on moon?
There is very little oxygen on the Moon's surface, approximately 0.1% of the Earth's oxygen levels. Most of the Moon's atmosphere is composed of argon, helium, and trace amounts of other gases. In order to sustain life, astronauts would need to bring their own supply of oxygen when visiting the Moon.

What does an astronauts do on a planet?
The only place astronauts have been other than Earth, is on the moon. When they were there, they did some exploring to see what it was like. They took samples of the soil and rocks to bring back to Earth. They tried to learn as much as they could while they were there. If astronauts get to visit other planets, they would do the same kinds of things.
Were astronauts on europa moon?
No. Astronauts have visited Earth's Moon. The next place to visit will be Mars. Europa is a moon of Jupiter, so it is MUCH farther away.

Why is it so much more difficult to send astronauts to the moon than mars?
You appear to be misinformed. It is more difficult to send people to mars because it is so much farther away. That is why we have not sent astronauts to mars yet, but we have sent astronauts to the moon.

How much does it cost to fly to the moon?
As of now, it is not possible for individuals to fly to the moon. The cost of sending astronauts to the moon is extremely high, estimated to be billions of dollars.
Much of what scientists know about the moon has come from?
studying moon rocks gathered by astronauts ;D
Is there any gravity on the moon and the astronaut on the moon?
Yes, there is gravity on the moon, but it is much weaker than on Earth. The gravitational pull on the moon is about 1/6th of that on Earth, so astronauts on the moon experience lower gravity.
Is there any zinc on the moon?
Yes, there is evidence of zinc on the moon. Studies of moon rocks brought back by astronauts have shown the presence of zinc in varying concentrations. Additionally, remote sensing data from spacecraft orbiting the moon have further confirmed the presence of zinc in lunar surface materials.
How much oxygen is on moon?
There is very little oxygen on the Moon's surface, approximately 0.1% of the Earth's oxygen levels. Most of the Moon's atmosphere is composed of argon, helium, and trace amounts of other gases. In order to sustain life, astronauts would need to bring their own supply of oxygen when visiting the Moon.
Why do astronauts take small steps on the moon?
The gravity on the moon is much less than that of Earth. Thus, even a small step requires much less effort than on Earth. If astronauts were to take large steps, it would waste energy needlessly and probably take more effort.
