Not forever but for a long time! There is no wind, air, or water on the moon, so the only thing that will disturb a footprint will be a meteor strike or further human activity.

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.


What happens to the footprints of astronauts?

Because there is no wind or other weather on the moon, there is nothing to weather the footprints. Barring a meteor strike or something like that, or tourists (!), they will stay there forever.


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.


Why do the footprints on the moon look the same every time?

As long as no one touches or disturbs them, footprints on the Moon will look the same, and will remain unchanged forever. On the moon, there is no wind that would cover the footprints, and there is no water or rain that would wash the footprints away.


Are niel Armstrong foot prints still on the moon?

The footprints of all the astronauts and buggies will remain like tat forever , as there is no wind on the moon to covers wipe them out.

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.

If footprints are left on the moon will the stay on the moon forever?

No. But they will be there for a long, long time. Forever is just that - forever. And they won't last that long. You're on the right track, though. There is no atmosphere on the moon, and it is geologically "dead" as we generally see it. No erosion will be taking place. The moon is subject to strikes by space rocks though, so any one of them could erase a footprint or two. Or even all of them if it was a really big rock. And have you seen the size of some of those craters on the moon? Hundreds of miles across! Eventually, the sun will expand, and it will destroy all the surface features of both the earth and moon. And it will swallow the earth and the moon totally after that. Everything that is here will eventually be converted into plasma. But the footprints will be long gone before that happens.


How long will footsteps stay on the moon?

Forever, because there is no wind on the moon because there is no air.


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.


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.
