Sound cannot be heard on the moon because there is no atmosphere to transmit it. Certainly the astronauts could hear themselves moving (within their suits) and talking (but only by radio), but no sound traveled between them save though the ground. And that's not really "hearable" by us. Nothing to do with "air resistance" can be seen, either. A handful of dust will travel like a solid rock if thrown. Weird!

When there is a lunar eclipse observed from earth what eclipse will be observed from moon?

During a lunar eclipse observed from Earth, a solar eclipse would be observed from the perspective of the Moon. This occurs because the Earth blocks the sunlight from directly reaching the Moon, resulting in a solar eclipse from the Moon's point of view.


On what percentage of the Moon's have eruptions been observed?

Eruptions on the Moon have been observed on approximately 33% of its surface, mostly in the form of volcanic activity in the past. These eruptions led to the formation of maria, large dark plains on the Moon's surface.


Galileo was the first astronomer to describe surface features of the?

Galileo was the first astronomer to describe the surface features of the moon. Using a telescope, he observed mountains, valleys, and craters on the moon's surface, challenging the prevailing belief that celestial bodies were perfect and unblemished. His observations supported the idea that the moon and other celestial bodies were physical bodies similar to Earth.


What feature covers much of the Moon's surface and what did Galileo see when he observed this feature through the telescope?

many craters, mountains, and what Galileo referred to as 'seas'.


What is a lunar astronomer?

A lunar astronomer is a scientist who studies the Moon and its astronomical phenomena, such as its geology, surface features, and movements. They may use telescopes, spacecraft data, or conduct experiments to better understand the Moon's properties and behavior.

What is a ray of light from the moon?

A ray of light from the moon is a narrow, beam-like pathway of light that appears to radiate outward from the moon's surface. These rays are created when sunlight reflects off the moon's surface, creating bright streaks that can be observed on Earth.


Why is it that the features on the Moon's surface are older than those observed on Earth?

Because the moon has no atmosphere and no liquid water on its surface, it has no weather and no life. Weather, and living things, both tend to change existing surface features. So, features don't last as long on the Earth as they do on the moon.

Why there no rain in the surface of the moon?

Due to the Moon's low gravity, it cannot hold in an atmosphere, meaning it cannot have weather. This means erosion cannot occur, making craters, footsteps, etc. never disappear. It also means it cannot rain at all on the Moon.


Can the astronauts talk on the surface of moon as on the earth?

Yes, astronauts can communicate with each other on the surface of the moon using radio communication devices in their space suits or spacecraft. The lack of atmosphere on the moon means that sound waves cannot travel, so they rely on technology for communication.


Are there shadows on the moon that can be observed from Earth?

Oh, what a wonderful question! While the moon is known for its soft and beautiful light, shadows from mountains and craters on the moon can actually be seen from Earth. These shadows create a sense of depth and dimension against the lunar surface, adding to the magic and mystery of our nearest celestial neighbor. It's truly a beautiful sight to observe. Thank you for joining me in this little journey of knowledge.


What did the first man discover on the moon?

The first man to set foot on the moon, Neil Armstrong, discovered that the surface was covered in fine dust and the soil beneath was powdery. He also observed that the moon's landscape was mostly barren, with craters and rocks dotting the surface.

many craters, mountains, and what Galileo referred to as 'seas'.


What fraction of the Moon's surface is covered with water?

Roughly 0%. Water cannot exist in liquid form on the Moon's surface due to the lack of atmosphere and extremely low temperatures. Any water that may be present on the Moon is frozen in ice form.


What is the surface of the moon called?

The outer surface of the moon is called the crust.
