The surface pressure of the moon is 10E-7 Pa.
Or in kPa 10E-10. (0.0000000001)
This pressure is so small because the moon has virtually no atmosphere. Therefore very little pressure. (This can be contrasted to the average sea-level pressure of Earth at 101325 Pa or 101.325 kPa)

What is the air pressure of the moon?
I would imagine it drops, because there is less gravity.
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.
Why can you stand on the earths surface but not the Moon's surface?
You can stand on the moon surface if you can get there
What continents surface is similar to the Moon's surface?
Antarctica's surface is similar to that of the moon in that it is rocky.
The National Aeronautics and Space Administration NASA says that there is ice on some parts of the moon. What does this tell you about temperatures on these parts of the moon?
The message is that it's really cold there. As the moon has no atmosphere, there is no atmospheric pressure. Atmospheric pressure has a pronounced effect on the boiling point of water. If the water does exist on the moon and it does lie on the surface in a "no-pressure" situation, it would have to be very cold to remain there under the circumstances.

What are some causes of river and coastal flooding?
Low surface pressure and a new moon are the main reasons

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.

Would a balloon rise in an atmosphere where the pressure was somehow the same at all altitudes Would a balloon rise in the complete absence of atmospheric pressure such as on the surface of the moon?
No
Why is there no barometric pressure on the moon?
The moon is much smaller than the Earth and has a weaker gravitational field. As a result, gas on the lunar surface leaks away into space, rather than forming an atmosphere. And with no atmosphere, there can be no barometric pressure.
Did astronauts actually touch on the moon?
They touched some lunar samples with bare hands, but not the moon itself. They did walk on the moon's surface, but they were in full pressure suits the entire time they were outside the Lunar Module.

Compare air pressure on earth to air pressure on the moon?
The moon has no air pressure because the moon has no air.
What is the surface of the moon?
The moon's surface is regolith (ground up rock).
What is the surface of the moon called?
The outer surface of the moon is called the crust.
