"Soil" as opposed to "dust" implies some moisture and some organic material. The Moon has no organic material and except for some craters near the poles, no water that we know of.

When we go to the Moon, we'll make our own lunar "soil" by mixing organic material with water and lunar dust.

How is the moons soil different from earths soil?

The Moon's soil, also known as regolith, is primarily made up of fine dust and rocky debris resulting from meteoroid impacts. Earth's soil, on the other hand, contains a mix of organic matter, minerals, water, and living organisms. The Moon's soil lacks the organic components and complex ecosystem found in Earth's soil.
