Why does the moon experience extreme temperature?
There's almost no atmosphere and no hydrosphere to buffer the temperature changes like on earth.
Does the moon have a more moderate climate than earth?
No, as the moon has no atmosphere the temperature changes on the moon vary to extremely hot during the lunar day to well below freezing during the lunar night. Well more extreme than the temperature changes we see on Earth.
What causes the changes of the moon phases?
The moon spins
What is the relationship between the moon surface gravity lack of atmosphere and temperature range?
The Moon's gravity causes the lack of atmosphere (any possible atmosphere evaporates out into space in a fairly short time); and the lack of atmosphere causes the extreme temperatures.
What is the relationship between the moon and surface gravity lack of atmosphere and temperature range?
The Moon's gravity causes the lack of atmosphere (any possible atmosphere evaporates out into space in a fairly short time); and the lack of atmosphere causes the extreme temperatures.
How are the moon colonists protected from radiation and extreme temperature?
the are by the atmosphere
Is the moon smaller and more dense than earth and has less extream temperature changes?
Yes, the Moon is smaller and denser than Earth. It has about one-quarter the diameter of Earth and a density of approximately 3.3 grams per cubic centimeter, compared to Earth's 5.5 grams per cubic centimeter. However, the Moon experiences extreme temperature fluctuations, ranging from about -173°C at night to 127°C during the day, which is significantly more extreme than typical temperature changes on Earth.
Is there other weather on the moon?
No. The moon doesn't have an atmosphere so wind and precipitation cannot occur, however meteorites frequently hit the moon due to it's lack of atmosphere (if you want to call that weather!) and there are extreme temperature changes on the moon between day and night, too.
Is the moon smaller and more dense than the Earth and has less extreme temperature changes?
Yes, the Moon is smaller and denser than Earth, with about 1/6th of Earth's gravity and a density of approximately 3.34 grams per cubic centimeter compared to Earth's 5.52 grams per cubic centimeter. Additionally, the Moon experiences less extreme temperature changes due to its lack of atmosphere, which leads to significant temperature variations between day and night, ranging from about -173°C at night to 127°C during the day. However, these fluctuations are still quite extreme compared to Earth's more moderate climate.
Why is getting to the moon dangerous?
Because the temperature changes
What is the moons atmosphere like?
The Moon does not have a significant atmosphere. It is very thin and consists mostly of trace amounts of elements like neon, helium, and hydrogen. The lack of atmosphere contributes to the Moon's extreme temperature changes between day and night.
What causes the apparent changes of the moon's shape?
The variations in how much reflected sunlight we see as the Moon orbits Earth.
