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!

Why does earth have a liquid water 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.
Why does earth have a liquid water supply and the the moon does not?
because the moon does not contain enough gravity

There is a great deal of erosion on the moon caused by wind and water?
No, the moon does not have an atmosphere; no atmosphere ---- no wind and no liquid water.
What resources is found on earth but not found on the moon?
Liquid water
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.
Does the moon have an atmosphere or running water?
The moon has no atmosphere or liquid water.

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.
What percentage is the moon covered with water?
There is no liquid water on the Moon. It's surface is barren rock and dust.
Why scientists believe liquid water ocean might exist on the moon Titan?
Why scientists believe a liquid water ocean might exist on the moon Titan
Why there is no rain on moon?
The moon has no atmosphere and no liquid water. Therefore it cannot have rain.
Which moon of Jupiter might have liquid water on it?
Europa
What resource is found on Earth but not on the Moon?
Liquid water
Would water float on the moon?
yes it would, and it would boil at a much much lower temperature than here on earth. boiling point is dependent on air pressure (lower air pressure -> lower boiling point) and since the moon has essentially no atomosphere, room temperature water as soon as it is exposed would vapourize istantly you can see the effect of pressure on boiling point on earth when you try to boil water on a high mountain, it boiling at a much lower temperature.
What moon had an ocean of liquid water beneath it?
Saturns moon Titan has water under ice as well as one of Jupiter's moon Europa
How would life on earth be different if you did not have a moon orbiting the earth?
there will not be water tides
