No, it is made of solid noncombusting rock. The sun is made of the aforementioned gases.

Is the moon surface becoming hot an example of convection?

No, the moon's surface becoming hot is not an example of convection. Convection is the transfer of heat through the movement of fluids or gases. The moon's lack of atmosphere means heat is mainly transferred through radiation from the sun.


What are openings from which hot steam gases ashes etc are ejected from the moon?

The openings from which hot steam, gases, and ash are ejected from the moon are known as volcanic vents or fissures. These openings allow material from beneath the surface to escape onto the lunar surface, forming lava flows, volcanic cones, and other volcanic features.


What does the moon have that the sun and moon don't have?

The moon has a gravitational effect on Earth that causes tides, which is not caused by the sun. Additionally, the moon has a surface with craters and mountains, while the sun is a ball of hot gases without a solid surface.


Why is the sun hot - kids version?

The sun is hot because it is a huge ball of burning gases like hydrogen and helium. These gases are always moving and colliding with each other, creating a lot of heat and light. This heat and light is what warms our planet Earth.


Does the moon have any gases on it?

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.
