The Moon is not within the Earth's atmosphere. The Moon is at a distance of about 380,000 km.; the Earth's atmosphere doesn't end abruptly, but for most practical purposes, ceases to exist after a few hundred km. at most.

Why does the moon have moon rock?
because it is amalgamated debris from when a mars sized planet hit earth
How do we think Earth's Moon formed?
My teacher told me that long ago Earth hit another planet and a piece of Earth broke off and that piece is now the moon
Why is the moon closer to earth then the sun?
The moon is closer to the Earth then the Sun because the Earth's gravity pulls the moon closer. Also trillions of years ago the Earth was very big. Scientists suspect a meteor hit the Earth and a piece of the Earth broke off. That piece is now called the Moon.
Is there moon on the Earth?
The moon is not on the earth if it was we all would be dead because we would have been squashed by the moon and the gravitaty. but the moon orbits the earth and the earth orbits the sun. it is like a racetrack when your watching a cartoon and they get hit in the head and birds are flying around their head. its like the racecar driver was driving still and got hit in the head and had the birds flying around it.
Why do more meteorites hit moon?
Do they? I don't believe this is known. I have not been able to find any real estimate for the numbers of meteorites hitting the Moon or the Earth so a comparison is kind of unwarranted.However, I would expect more meteorites to hit the Moon than the Earth *per unit surface area* because the Moon has very little atmosphere. A lot of meteors hit the Earth's atmosphere without ever reaching the Earth's surface because they burn up in the air. The Moon has no such protective covering and so will be hit by all the meteors that head its way.
Is the moon of earth?
An asteroid had hit Earth and knocked of a chunk that is now called the moon.
Earth's moon hypothetically was a portion of earth when it was hit by an asteroid how was this possible?
if a meteor hit earth and a piece of earth (the moon) chipped off. earths gravitational pull could be sufficient to make the moon orbit around the earth.

What two objects have been hit by a meteor?
The earth and moon.
If the moon is hit with 2 nuks what will happen to the earth?
Nothing.
What causes the moon to have such an uneven surface?
It was found out by scientists that the moon is uneven, because just like other places in the universe, they get hit by asteroids, or meteors. The Earth very rarely gets hit by them, but sense the moon is out in space, closer to them, the moon got hit, making craters in the moon, that's also why, (down here on Earth) it looks like there is a face on the moon, or "Man on the Moon."
Why does the moon have moon rock?

Is our Moon formed from the Crust of today's Pacific Ocean after some Impact hit that part of Earth?
There is a theory that suggests a comet hit the earth and possible broke off a chunk creating the moon.
