What else can I help you with?
Why do craters. Last for millions of years on the surface of the moon?
Craters last for millions of years on the surface of the moon because the moon does not have an atmosphere. Saying this the moon does not have anything able to fill in the craters such as soil or rain.
In what sea on the Moon's surface did the Luna crash land in?
The Luna 2 spacecraft crash-landed in the Sea of Serenity on the Moon's surface in 1959.
Is there any kind of wind or rain on the moon?
There is no significant atmosphere on the moon, so there is no wind or rain like we experience on Earth. The moon's surface is exposed to harsh temperatures and space conditions, without any protection from an atmosphere.
Why would it be pointless taking an umbrella to the moon?
Taking an umbrella to the moon would be pointless because there is no atmosphere on the moon to create rain. Umbrellas are used to shield individuals from rain or sun, neither of which occur on the moon's surface.
Why haven't the craters on the moon changed?
On Earth wind and rain cause erosion which changes the surface. The moon has no atmosphere thus nothing to cause change.
What is rain on titan made of?
Rain on Titan is believed to be composed of liquid methane or ethane due to the frigid conditions on the surface of the moon. These hydrocarbons condense into clouds in Titan's thick atmosphere and eventually rain down onto the surface in liquid form.
How much rain falls on the moon?
It does not rain on the moon.
Is there precipitation on the moon?
noPrecipitation such as rain and snow can not exist on the lunar surface because of the moon's lack of atmosphere however the word "precipitation" can also refer to meteors and asteroids hitting the moon and causing craters, so in that sense, there IS precipitation on the moon, just not in the form of rain or snow like on Earth.
Does it rain on a full moon?
The phases of the moon do not affect rain on Earth.
Why there is no rain on moon?
The moon has no atmosphere and no liquid water. Therefore it cannot have rain.
Why there no rain in the surface of the moon?
Due to the Moon's low gravity, it cannot hold in an atmosphere, meaning it cannot have weather. This means erosion cannot occur, making craters, footsteps, etc. never disappear. It also means it cannot rain at all on the Moon.
What are craters and why would they stay on an object?
Craters are depressions in a planet's or moon's surface caused when a meteor hits the surface. On the moon craters remain undisturbed because there are no environmental forces like wind and rain to disturb resulting shape of the crater.
