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?

Earth has a liquid water supply due to its thicker atmosphere and sufficient gravitational pull to retain water in liquid form. The moon, on the other hand, lacks a significant atmosphere and has lower gravity, causing any water there to either freeze or evaporate into space.


Why does earth have q liquid water supply and the moon does not?

Earth's liquid water supply is due to its unique position in the habitable zone of the Sun, where temperatures allow for water to exist in its liquid state. The moon lacks significant quantities of liquid water due to its smaller size, weaker gravity, and lack of a substantial atmosphere to retain water molecules.
