Is the moon made of rock or gas?

Answer 1

There are 4 planets in our solar system that are classified as gas giants, those being Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune. They all have moons, although their moons are not gas giants. So your question does not quite make sense, as you have phrased it. No moon is a gas giant. Only planets are gas giants.

Answer 2

Very little. Those elements detected by various means include, sodium, potassium, radon-222, polonium-210 ,argon-40, helium-4, oxygen and/or methane, nitrogen gas and/or carbon monoxide, and carbon dioxide.

Moon - negligible amount cuz of low gravity and proximity to the Sun.

Hot gas molecules move faster and on the Moon gas velocities for those temperatures exceed escape velocity of Moon (i.e.. too low gravity) and hence have left it.

But if the moon was farther away from the Sun and not too far that its temps fall to near zero (-273.15*C where all gases liquify) it could have a thin atmosphere made of the right kind of gas to suit the temp.

Answer 3

The moon has no atmosphere, so there are no gases in the Moon's atmosphere.

Evidence for traces of some gases being emitted from the moon have been found, but those gases escape to space and do not form an atmosphere. They include sodium, potassium, radon-222, polonium-210, argon-40, helium-4, and a bit of water vapor.

Answer 4

nitrogen THE MOON IS NOT GAS, it is solid rock (or maybe green cheese).

Answer 5

the moon has no atmosphere on it as has a weak gravitational pull thus there are no gasses on the moon

Answer 6

there r sodium(Na)

pottassium

oxygen

helium(He)

carbon monoxide

carbon dioxide

methane

nitrogen

argon-40

Answer 7

No, the moon is very different to the sun. The moon is made from rock, while the sun is mainly hydrogen gas.

Answer 8

The moon is made of rock, specifically a type of rock called anorthosite. It does not have an atmosphere like gas giants.

Answer 9

No. The moon is made of rock.
