Absolutely, and if you look closely at the images taken by the Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter (see "related links" below), you can still clearly see those tracks.

What is the reason footprints are on the moon?

Footprints are on the moon because astronauts from the Apollo missions walked on its surface. The moon's lack of atmosphere and wind means that footprints can last for a long time without being erased.


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.


How many footprints are on the moon?

There are footprints from 12 astronauts on the moon, as a result of the six Apollo moon landing missions between 1969 and 1972. The lack of atmosphere and wind on the moon has preserved these footprints for millions of years.


Are footprints on the moon possible?

No, footprints on the moon are not possible because there is no atmosphere on the moon to preserve them. Without an atmosphere, there is no wind or weather to erode or cover the footprints, so they would remain preserved indefinitely on the lunar surface.


Footprints on the moon will never go away?

That's correct! Footprints left on the moon by astronauts will remain there for a very long time due to the lack of atmosphere, wind, and water to erode or disturb them. This means that these footprints could potentially last for millions of years.

Who made the first footprints on the moon?

Unless you are a conspiracy theorist who believes man has not set foot on the moon, American astronaut Neil Armstrong is credited with being the first man to set foot on the moon. By implication, that means he left the first footprints.

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.


Whether the footprints of human beings are still present on the Moon?

Oh yes the footprints left on the moon by the astronauts , will remain there for years or centuries. The reason is that there is no wind on the moon surface. So there is no chance of dust covering those footprints.


How have the footprints of neil Armstrong on the moon when there is no air on it?

If there is no air movement, then the footprints should still be there!


Are the footprints of human being are still present on the moon?

yes, the footprints of human beings are still present on moon. as there is lack of atmosphere on moon, there is no air or water which can vanish or rub the prints there, on the moon.
