Why lack of atmosphere around the moon?
The moon's gravity is too weak to hold on to an atmosphere.
Which layer of the atmosphere loses atoms and molecules due to weak gravity?
The exosphere is the outermost layer of Earth's atmosphere where the weakest amount of gravity allows atoms and molecules to escape into space. This layer is composed mainly of hydrogen and helium atoms that can reach high velocities due to solar radiation.
What prevented the Moon from maintaining any atmosphere with which it originally formed?
A lack of sufficient gravity. The gravity on the moon is so weak that the rays of the sun (the solar wind) completely blew away any atmosphere the moon may have had. The rest of the lunar atmosphere evaporated into space due to the high heat from the direct sunlight.
When earths early atmosphere formed which gases where lost because earths gravity was too weak?
Hydrogen and helium
Mercury does not have enough gravity to hold this?
ya it has a little bit less gravity than the moon. its........floaty..........
Why their is no air in space?
The atmosphere we breath is held round the earth's surface due to earth's gravity. Without this gravity, earth's atmosphere would disperse into space. Because our moon's gravity is weak, so there is no atmosphere on the moon.
Why lack of atmosphere around the moon?
The moon's gravity is too weak to hold on to an atmosphere.
Which has no atmosphere at all?
The Moon has no atmosphere at all. It is not able to retain an atmosphere due to its weak gravity, which allows gases to escape into space. This lack of atmosphere is one reason why the Moon's surface experiences extreme temperature variations.
Which layer of the atmosphere loses atoms and molecules due to weak gravity?
The exosphere is the outermost layer of Earth's atmosphere where the weakest amount of gravity allows atoms and molecules to escape into space. This layer is composed mainly of hydrogen and helium atoms that can reach high velocities due to solar radiation.
What is the atmosphere of Makemake made of?
It doesn't have one, the gravity is far too weak
Is our atmosphere escaping?
Due to earth's gravity, the atmosphere isn't escaping.
What planet has no atmosphere because it was burned off by the sun?
Mercury has no atmosphere due to its small size and due to the fact it is close to the sun, which has effectively 'burned' off any atmosphere that it may have had.
What prevented the Moon from maintaining any atmosphere with which it originally formed?
A lack of sufficient gravity. The gravity on the moon is so weak that the rays of the sun (the solar wind) completely blew away any atmosphere the moon may have had. The rest of the lunar atmosphere evaporated into space due to the high heat from the direct sunlight.
Would a can be crushed due to gravity or atmospheric pressure on mercury?
On Mercury, a can would not be crushed due to gravity because the planet's gravity is too weak. However, the can could be crushed due to the high atmospheric pressure on Mercury, which is about 100 times greater than Earth's atmospheric pressure.
There is no gravity air and what on the moon?
The Moon does have gravity! It is weak (just 1/6th of the Earth's) so the Moon has very little atmosphere.
Do meteorites have atmosphere?
No. Any atmosphere would quickly escape into space, due to the low gravity.
Why does the moon have gravity but no air?
The moon has gravity because it has mass, which creates a gravitational pull. However, the moon has no atmosphere because its gravity is too weak to hold on to gases like air. As a result, the moon has a vacuum environment with no air or atmosphere.
