There were recent amazing pictures released to the press of the surface of the moon which showed many of the objects left on the moon including footprints! So you know the footprints last over 40 years because it has been that long since Neil Armstrong made history with the first footprints on the moon. There is no atmosphere on the moon therefore no rain, wind or water flow so the only thing that will destroy the footprints is space debri of either man made materials or rocks such as a meteor storm. Scientist from different nationsintentionally crash objects into the moon for various studies.

The footprints would stay there forever, unless someone or something disturbed them or wiped them away. There is no wind on the moon so the footprints will never blow away.

Why do the footprints on the moon look the same every time?
As long as no one touches or disturbs them, footprints on the Moon will look the same, and will remain unchanged forever. On the moon, there is no wind that would cover the footprints, and there is no water or rain that would wash the footprints away.
What happen to the astronauts that landed on the sun?
Firstly, no astronaut culd get to the sun. The heat would vaporise them and their craft long before then. Secondly, even if they could reach it, the sun has no solid surface; it is entirely plasma and gas. So, there is no way to land on the sun at all.
Would your weight increase on the moon?
No. As long as you continued to eat your astronaut food and do your astronaut exercises, your weight would remain constant on the moon. But it would only be about 16% of your weight on Earth. Your mass would be the same on the moon as it is on Earth, and would also not change while you're there.
