How does the absence of an atmosphere affect the Moon's surface temperature?
Well, atmospheres help absorb heat, so it traps in heat from the sun to make it warmer, so the absence of an atmosphere on the moon affects it by making it cooler because without an atmosphere, there is no way to trap in and keep heat.
What do you call an absence of atmosphere?
The absence of atmosphere is called a vacuum.
Your moon has no atmosphere suggest how this effects the changes on the surface of the moon?
The moon does not have an atmosphere. This affects the changes on the surface because there is no wind action to cause dunes or wind erosion.
Do guns work on the moon?
Yes. Despite the absence of an atmosphere/oxygen, a modern bullet would fire as they contain an oxidiser which allows the gunpowder to explode.
What planet has no atmosphere and no moon?
Mercury has no moon nor an atmosphere.

Is earths temperature hoter than the moon?
Yes, but only by a small amount (green-house effect of atmosphere). Note that the absence of atmosphere on the moon makes for wild temp swings.

Is the earth's temperature greater than the moon?
Yes. Due to effects with the Earth's atmosphere, the average temperature on Earth is higher.Yes. Due to effects with the Earth's atmosphere, the averagetemperature on Earth is higher.Yes. Due to effects with the Earth's atmosphere, the averagetemperature on Earth is higher.Yes. Due to effects with the Earth's atmosphere, the averagetemperature on Earth is higher.
What is the atmosphere of moon?
There's no atmosphere on the Moon.
What it the cause of cold temperatures on the moon?
The absence of an atmosphere allows the night-side of the moon to cool rapidly. Having a 28 day rotation period means a night that lasts 14 days; a long time with no atmosphere to slow heat loss.
What is the moon's atmosphere?
The moon has no atmosphere.
Why does the moon get very cold?
During night on the moon, because of the absence of an atmosphere, the temperature on the moon gets very cold as all of the sun's light is radiated out into space - indeed it can get a lot colder than the Earth can ever get.
Does the moon have an atmosphere like earth's atmosphere?
No. The moon does not have an atmosphere.
How does the absence of water affect the moon craters?
Water causes erosion, it washes things away, slowly or quickly, so craters do not last as long on a world that has at atmosphere and water as they do on the moon, which has no atmosphere and no water except for some ice in certain polar craters.
Do guns work on the moon?
Yes. Despite the absence of an atmosphere/oxygen, a modern bullet would fire as they contain an oxidiser which allows the gunpowder to explode.
