The Moon has no atmosphere. It is through atmosphere that light is dispersed (spread) and sound waves travel (light waves and sound waves bounce off tiny particles in an atmosphere). This means that no sound can be heard on the Moon. The sky is always black because light cannot be spread, unlike on Earth where light spreads to give the sky a blue colour and on Mars where it spreads through its thin atmosphere to give the sky a pinkish/reddish colour.

We only ever see one side of the Moon. This is because when it formed and its inner liquids went solid, most were pulled towards Earth, making it slightly egg-shaped, heavier on one side (the side that we can see) and therefore not able to spin freely. Instead, it spins with the Earth. As the opposite side of the Moon is never seen from Earth, it is often referred to as the "Dark Side of the Moon." This is despite the fact that it is actually exposed to the Sun for two weeks during each of the Moon's cycles.

he Moon had a volcanic history. A picture taken in 1994 by the Clementine mission shows a volcano on the Moon's South Pole from millions of years ago. This is fairly recently in the Moon's history (most of the surface features of the Moon are billions of years old), which explains why there are few impact craters nearby.
well......some cool fact's about the moon is that

it is the only natural satalite in the world.
