If the Moon had liquid water, the water would immediately boil into vapor because the Moon has no air. Depending on how much water it had, it might develop some tiny atmosphere of steam before the solar wind blew it all away.

Unfortunately, the Moon doesn't possess enough gravity to retain any atmosphere for long periods of time.

Some day, elemental transmutation may be possible. (It is possible now, but only on a very tiny scale.) If it were possible to transmute silicon into oxygen, it would be possible to create a Lunar atmosphere from the lunar rocks and dust. If the machine were efficient enough, it might be able to keep producing oxygen out of the lunar crust fast enough to keep up with the rate at which the solar wind would blow the oxygen away.

Perhaps by the year 3000, this will be possible. Look how far we've come just in the last 100 years!

Where is the liquid water on the Moon?

There is no liquid water on the moon. There is some evidence that there is frozen water.


What is the hypothesis explaining why the moon has no liquid water?

The moon does not have liquid water because its surface lacks the necessary conditions for liquid water to exist, such as a sufficient atmosphere and average temperatures. The moon's lack of atmosphere means that any liquid water would quickly evaporate or freeze.


Does the moon have an atmosphere or running water?

The moon has no atmosphere or liquid water.


Why does liquid have a liquid water supply and the moon does not?

The Moon does not have enough gravity to form a thick atmosphere. Intense sunlight reaches and heats the surface. Liquid water would be ionized and escape back into space as hydrogen and oxygen ions. The water on the Moon is in the form of ice in deep crater shadows. Sunlight cannot reach this ice to melt and vaporize it.


What common earth substance is not found on the moon?

Water is a common earth substance that is not found on the moon in its liquid form. While there is evidence of water in the form of ice on the moon's surface, there are no bodies of liquid water like oceans or lakes.


Why does earth have a liquid water supply and the moon?

Earth has a liquid water supply due to its distance from the sun, its atmosphere, and its geologic activity which helps maintain temperatures suitable for liquid water. The moon lacks these factors, leading to its lack of liquid water supply.


Does the moon have bodies of water?

It depends on what you mean by "bodies of water." There are deposits of water on the moon but they are in the form of ice, not liquid water.


Is there liquid water on Io?

No, there is no liquid water on Io. Io is a moon of Jupiter known for its volcanic activity and extreme surface conditions, where water would be expected to exist in a solid or gaseous state rather than as a liquid.


Why there is no rain on moon?
