Titan, the largest moon of Saturn, has an orange atmosphere. Its hazy atmosphere is primarily made up of nitrogen and methane, which give it its distinct orange color.
Titan, a moon of Saturn, has a thick atmosphere mainly composed of nitrogen. Jupiter's moon Ganymede has a thin atmosphere made up of oxygen.
There is oxygen on the moon, but not as a gas. It is bound up chemically in minerals. Free oxygen, the gas, is not held to the moon as an atmosphere because the moon has not enough gravity to hold a noticeable atmosphere.
Yes, the Moon did have a very thin atmosphere called an exosphere. This exosphere is made up of very low-density gases, such as sodium and helium, that are constantly escaping into space due to the Moon's low gravity. The Moon's atmosphere is much less dense compared to Earth's atmosphere.
Many more meteorites reach the surface of the moon because it lacks an atmosphere to burn up incoming objects, unlike Earth. This means that the moon's surface retains more impact craters from these meteorite strikes compared to Earth.
The Moon has no atmosphere.
The moon has none.
Our moons lack of atmosphere means that it is a vacuum at the surface, it's like being in space. The lack of atmosphere means that meteors are able to hit the moon without being burnt up by frictional forces. The lack of atmosphere also means that there is no weather, wind or rain.
Apollo 10 holds the record for the highest speed attained by a manned vehicle (39, 897 kph). Apollo 10 was the first mission broadcast in colour from space. The lunar module for Apollo 10 is still in space (orbiting the sun) - all the others crashed into the moon or burnt up in the Earth's atmosphere.

Two reasons. The moon no longer has active volcanoes to cover meteor strikes and the moon does not have an atmosphere, so strikes that would otherwise be burned up in an atmosphere are not burned. Plus there is not erosion to speak of on the moon.
