Without an atmosphere, water or water vapor will be ionized by the intense solar radiation and become hydrogen and oxygen. The hydrogen is swept away by the solar wind. At low pressures, water's boiling point (vapor point) is very low, and in a vacuum it will rapidly disperse.
The water that does exist on the Moon is found as ice deposited by comets and asteroids. The ice is buried deep within craters near the lunar poles, where sunlight never reaches it.

Did test show that water exists on Mars and the moon?
There is plenty of water on Mars but only a little on the Moon (maybe in the permanently dark craters).
How much affect does the moon have on plate tectonics?
My opinion is very little. The Moon's gravity pulls uniformly on both sides of a tectonic plate.
What side of earth do low tides occur?
Low tides can happen anywhere. Wherever the moon goes it lifts earth's water up a little (closest to it. The water also rises on the other side of Earth which is strange) and the sides of Earth not facing the moon lower a little.
Plants which need very little water?
Succulents such as cacti require little water.
What are solid shampoos?
Basically it is detergent (surfactant/soap) but without water or with very little water.
Why can you see craters on the moon even though they were formed by ancient meteor collisons?
The moon has no water or atmosphere to cause weathering and very little geologic activity. This means that there is very little to disturb features on the moon's surface.
Will there be people living on the moon?
As there is no oxygen at all on the moon and water is also not there , there is very little or no chance man will visit the moon next time.
What does Moon Holding Water mean?
It only means that there is water on the moon, it could be in frozen or little quantity.
What is the Hypothesis of the moon and tides?
The moon has just enough gravity to pull water to the sand of the beach. The moon has very little gravitational pull so it does not influence anything else on Earth. The tides are the only gravitational pull effect from the moon.
What were almost all of the moon rocks made of?
The Moon rocks discovered so far are igneous in nature and are very similar to Earth rocks except that they contain no water and very little oxygen. See the link below for more information.
Does The lack of an atmosphere has very little effect on the moon.?
false
How much rock has been brought back from the moon?
A very, very, little amount.
Did test show that water exists on Mars and the moon?
There is plenty of water on Mars but only a little on the Moon (maybe in the permanently dark craters).
Why is there very little astomphere the moon?
well my friend opened a restaraunt on the moon. It had to close because there was no atmosphere
There is no gravity air and what on the moon?
The Moon does have gravity! It is weak (just 1/6th of the Earth's) so the Moon has very little atmosphere.
Why is there very little weathering or erosion on the moon's surface?
This is mainly because there is little or no atmosphere. Most agents of erosion cannot act in the environment as it is too cold too. Wind cannot act as there is little gas to be moved; rivers cannot exist as it is too cold, and then you must consider that the water cycle is essential for rivers to be generated; there are no oceans on the moon; there are no surface glaciers on the moon. Therefore, the moon has little or no erosion or, indeed, weathering, as this would require an atmosphere
Is the desert southwest Mojave have little water or very much?
it has a little water
