The moon has no atmosphere and no weather. Here on Earth, a footprint is likely to be washed away by rain or blown away by wind; on the moon those things do not happen. We also have other disruptive influences in Earth, including plant and animal life, earthquakes and volcanoes. Those do not exist on the moon.

Why will a footprint last forever on the moon?
There is no air or water on the moon, therefore nothing to erase it.
Does seismic waves last longer on the earth or moon?
Seismic waves travel faster and last longer on the Moon compared to Earth due to the Moon's solid nature and lack of liquid outer core, which dampens and disperses seismic energy. This allows seismic waves on the Moon to propagate further without being absorbed or scattered as much as on Earth.
How can you make a footprint on the moon?
To make a footprint on the moon, you would need to visit the moon's surface wearing special space suits that allow you to walk on the lunar terrain. The lack of atmosphere on the moon means that footprints can last for a very long time due to the absence of wind and erosion. The Apollo astronauts made footprints on the moon during their missions in the late 1960s and early 1970s.
If earth moon was destroyed what would happen on earth?
If the earth's moon was completely destroyed, there is a possibility that we will no longer experience normal tidal cycles.
Does it take longer for 1 rotation of the moon or earth?
The moon rotates at a rate that matches its revolution around the earth since it has one face always toward the earth. So the moon's rotation is approximately 28 days, while the earth's is only 24 hours. Hence the moon's rotation is longer.
Why will a footprint last forever on the moon than earth?
because there is no air to blow it away and nothing to cover or disturb it
Why will a footprint last forever on the moon?
There is no air or water on the moon, therefore nothing to erase it.
If an astronaut trod on the moon would his footprint vanish?
Only if it were to be disturbed my a meteorite impact, otherwise it will last until the moon is destroyed, along with the Earth, when the sun expands and swallows both.
Does seismic waves last longer on the earth or moon?
Seismic waves travel faster and last longer on the Moon compared to Earth due to the Moon's solid nature and lack of liquid outer core, which dampens and disperses seismic energy. This allows seismic waves on the Moon to propagate further without being absorbed or scattered as much as on Earth.
Can a new moon last longer than 1 day?
The "New" moon is single point in time, when the moon is between the Earth and the Sun; it doesn't last even one hour. If the Moon is exactly between the Sun and Earth, then the shadow of the Moon will hit the Earth; we call this an "eclipse of the Sun".
Why does a total eclipse of the moon last longer at a place than a total eclipse of the sun?
A solar eclipse occurs when the moon casts a shadow on Earth. A lunar eclipse occurs when Earth casts a shadow on the moon. Since Earth is larger than the moon, it casts a larger shadow, resulting in a longer eclipse.
How much longer is the earth in diameter than the moon?
how much longer is the earth in diameter than the moon?
Why do foot prints last for hundreds of years?
You might mean on the moon. There is no wind or rain to erode the footprint on the moon, that's why it can last up to billions of years.
How can a footprint remain perfect on the moon for millions of years?
There is no wind or anything. The atmospheric conditions of the moon are unimaginably different than those of Earth.
Why does a lunar eclipse last longer than solar eclipse?
a lunar eclipse is when the earth's shadow is cast over the moon, while a solar eclipse is when the moon's shadow is cast over the earth. the earth is a lot bigger than the moon (obviously), so it will have a larger shadow that cover the moon, therefore lasting longer -- on the other hand, the moon (being much smaller than the earth) will cast a smaller shadow over the earth (not even covering the entire earth)
Why do some solar eclipse last longer than other solar eclipse?
The Moon's orbit around the Earth is inclined at an angle to the equator and in some circumstances the turning of the globe and the orbit of the moon are apparently moving in the same direction. This means that a country in the path of totality that is turning with the Moon will experience a longer eclipse than at other times and places.
Do moonquakes last longer or earthquakes?
Although quakes on the moon are much weaker (and rarer) than those on Earth, they can last for much longer. We live in far damper environment than is on the moon and the seismic vibrations of our earthquakes will eventually be calmed by the moisture in the atmosphere. While an earthquake typically lasts for just a few seconds (10-30 for most moderate earthquakes), moonquakes can last up to an hour.
