If there is no moisture on the moon then how are the footprints so clear?

The footprint looks that way due to moisture being in the soil. Go to Google images), take a look at the so-called first footprint on the moon in one of the high resolution photos. You will see the parts of the sand that the groves of the sole of the shoes made, have cracked-like separations due to slight movement on removal of the shoe/boot. Dry sand is not capable of that. If it were dry sand, it would collapse in thos areas of separation (as usual when you try to do anything with dry sand). As you can see this doesn't happen, the separations maintain their form which indicates water in the soil. Try building a sand castle with dry sand vs wet sand, and tell me which were you successful with. And don't let anybody try and tell you that it's the same as flour because flour has moisture in it. I'll leave the choice of believing whether we went to the moon or not up to you.

What is the reason footprints are on the moon?
There is no wind, and barely any gravity so the footprints will stay on the moon for yyyyyeeeeaaaarrrrrrsssss.
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.
Are the astronauts footprints still on the moon?
I recall during the moon walks that the footprints were expected to survive for thousands of years; so yes.
If a astronaut landed on the moon how long would the footprints stay there and why?
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.
How long will footprints last on the moon and why?
In 7,000 years

Whether the footprints of human beings are still present on the Moon?
Oh yes the footprints left on the moon by the astronauts , will remain there for years or centuries. The reason is that there is no wind on the moon surface. So there is no chance of dust covering those footprints.

How did Neil Armstrong's footprints stay on the moon so long?
The Moon has no wind, no water, and almost no moon quakes (earthquakes on the moon). There is almost nothing to cause the footprints to go away. Unless they are hit by a meteor, comet, or asteroid.
Footprints can be made on the surface of the moon as well as the surface of Earth. Why might this be possible?
before it said There is no gravity on the Moon, so it is very easy to make footprints well that ain't right, the reason is because the sand up on the moon is more pointier then the sand on earth so it stays together
Does earth moon have clouds?
No there is virtually no atmosphere so that means no moisture so no clouds
The footprints left the astronanuts Neil Armstrong and Edwin Aldrin on the moon in 1969 are still ther todayCan you explain why?
Because there is no wind or other weather on the moon, and so there is nothing to weather the footprints. Barring a meteor strike or something like that, or tourists (!), they will stay there forever.
Is there wind in the moon?
Moon has no atmosphere and dusty footprints remain on the moon forever, So there is no wind at all.
Why would footprints made on the moon last for hundreds of year?
No atmosphere So no rain or wind to remove them A moonquake might lessen them
