Answer:
When NASA intentionally crashed the Lunar Crater Observation and Sensing Satellite, or LCROSS (October 9, 2009) into the permanently shadowed region of Cabeus crater near the moon's south pole it determined that there is siificant water on the moon. The water is in the form of ice. It is contained in the soil below the lunar syrface and in the perpetually shadowed crater bottoms of the moon's polar regions.
India recently sent up an orbiting lunar probe, Chandrayaan-1. Chandrayaan 1's mini-SAR radar has returned elevated CPR at the moon's north pole. This seem to indicate relatively pure ice sheets at least two meters thick. 600 million tonnes.
Chandrayaan-1's M3 mapper has also detected hydroxyl ions mixed in the regolith at lower altitudes.
Water, as well as other volatiles were detected in the LCROSS ejecta. Besides hydrogen and oxygen, nitrogen and carbon were also present.
What else can I help you with?
What happens to water closest to the moon?
Water on the surface of the moon will rapidly turn to water vapor as there is no atmospheric pressure on the moon. The vapor will then escape the moon's gravity which is much weaker than the gravity on Earth.
How much rain on average falls on the moon?
It doesn't rain on the moon. There is no water, and therefore no clouds to rain the water back down.
How much of the moon's surface is covered with water?
About 0.005% of the moon's surface is covered with water, mainly in the form of ice found in shadowed craters near the poles. This water ice is believed to have been delivered by comets and other celestial bodies over millions of years.
What is the hypothesis explaining why the moon has no liquid water?
The moon does not have liquid water because its surface lacks the necessary conditions for liquid water to exist, such as a sufficient atmosphere and average temperatures. The moon's lack of atmosphere means that any liquid water would quickly evaporate or freeze.
Does the moon have air and water?
No, the moon lacks both air and water.
Why is there a search of water in moon?
If there is much water on the Moon, it will be much easier for lunar colonists to survive there.

Is there frozen water on the Moon's surface?
There is some indirect evidence of frozen water on the Moon, no one can be sure of how much exactly.
Why does the Moon's temperature change so much?
no water to buffer it

How does the moon's position affect the tides of Earth's oceans?
Wherever the moon is, the mass of water on Earth facing AND opposite of the Moon are pulled outwards because of the Moon's gravity. The mass of water facing the Moon is pulled out because its gravity is stronger there. Thhe mass of water facing AWAY from the moon is pulled out because of the LACK of moon gravity on it, if that makes sense. Wherever is not facing the moon or directly away from the moon has low tides because the moon's gravity does not much affect that area and the water from there rushes to the areas facing and facing away from the moon.

Since there is no water on the moon there are no what to cover the moon?
There is water on the moon... according to latest theory. But there is non on the surface
How does the spinning of the earth effect earth's water?
It actually doesnt much. The main contributing factor to the movement of the water and tides is the moon. Every day= 1 revolution around earth for the moon, so the tides go with the moon. So actaully, the rotation of the earth really doesnt effect it much.
