What is the relationship between the moon surface gravity lack of atmosphere and temperature range?
The Moon's gravity causes the lack of atmosphere (any possible atmosphere evaporates out into space in a fairly short time); and the lack of atmosphere causes the extreme temperatures.
What are things not available on moon?
To be a little specific it's the enough 'gravitational force'. This is primarily responsible for moon's lack of atmosphere. This adds to lack of oxygen, the friendly atmosphere, water, and so on...
Is the moon in the earths atmosphere?
no the moon is orbiting around the earth at a safe distance
Why are temeratures of earth and moon so different?
Because the moon has an incredibly small atmosphere, if it has any that is. The earth has a very big atmosphere compared to the moon. Thanks to all the CO2 in the atmosphere of earth, we are able to retain a really large amount of heat, unlike the incredible lack of any gas on the moon.
Is there an atmasphere on the moon?
The moon has a very low gravity, so there are only a few gases around the moon. So it has not such an atmosphere as we have, but there is a gas hull around the moon.
What is the relationship between the moon and surface gravity lack of atmosphere and temperature range?
The Moon's gravity causes the lack of atmosphere (any possible atmosphere evaporates out into space in a fairly short time); and the lack of atmosphere causes the extreme temperatures.

Which of these causes extreme temperature changes on the moon?
lack of atmosphere
Does The lack of an atmosphere has very little effect on the moon.?
false

What are some results of the Moon's thin atmosphere?
Our moons lack of atmosphere means that it is a vacuum at the surface, it's like being in space. The lack of atmosphere means that meteors are able to hit the moon without being burnt up by frictional forces. The lack of atmosphere also means that there is no weather, wind or rain.
What was Not a reason behind new imperialism and expansion?
The lack of atmosphere on the moon
Would sedimentary rocks be found on the moon?
No sedimentary rocks are found yet. The reason is moon is lack of atmosphere.
Do they have windmills in the moon?
Well guessing you mean on the moon, I'm going to have to say no, as the moon has no wind due to the lack of an atmosphere, unlike earth.
Is there a protective layer around the moon?
No- no atmosphere.
