If the moon had enough mass to maintain an earth like atmosphere it would likely be a very unpleasant place. Because the moon has a rotational period of a little over 14 days any single point on the moon is exposed to the sun or in dark for a little over 14 days at a time. This would likely lead to boiling hot "days", 14+ earth days long, and freezing cold "nights", also 14+ earth days long.
Also, just as a side note, the moon has gravity.
What else can I help you with?
Is the temperature on the moon like the earth at the equator?
nope. you see if it was that hot on the moon, the astronauts would have 1.melted the flag 2.melted their suit 3.stuck to the moon for a while(i am sure they would have found a way to get them down by no , though)
The temperature of the moons surface varies greatly from day to night because the moon has what?
This is because the moon has no atmosphere, and is therefore unable to maintain heat on its surface.
Is the thermometer reading the temperature of the vacuum at the Moon's surface?
No. The thermometer measures the temperature of mass or material. Concerning the moon, a thermometer could measure the temperature of dust or rock on the surface. If it were not in contact with the surface, and the sun shone on it, the thermometer would read the temperature to which the sun heated it. If it were shielded from the sun, then the thermometer would read the temperature of space ... about 3 K, or darn near absolute zero.
What is the Moon's temperature at day and night?
The temperature of the moon during the night is -233 Celsius and 123 Celsius during the day. It is because the Moon doesnÕt have an atmosphere to block the Sun rayÕs that could help to trap heat at night.
What is the temperature on the moon in daylight?
The moon has no atmosphere (well, not enough to matter) and so it experiences extreme temperature changes since there's no atmosphere to smooth things out. Noontime temperatures on the moon can reach as high as 123 degrees Celsius; at night it can drop as low as -233 degrees Celsius (in the south polar basin, which is permanently in the shade).
What is the temperature of the moon's atmosphere?
The Moon has no atmosphere.
What are the Temperature of the Moon?
Temperature of the moon varies greatly since it had no atmosphere. At the equator on the side expose to the sun, the temperature can reach up to 120 oC At the very same equator on the dark side, the temperature is -200 oC, quite higher than average temperature of the surrounding space of -270 oC because the moon still have some heat from the core deep inside its' crust. If the earth had no atmosphere, the temperature would be the same as the moon.
If the moons atmosphere were similar to the earths stars near moon would appear what color?
If the moon's atmosphere were similar to Earth's atmosphere, the stars near the moon would appear white to the naked eye. This is because in Earth's atmosphere, stars appear white due to the scattering of light by the gases present in the atmosphere.
What planet has a moon with no atmosphere?
All of the planets except Mercury and Venus, which have no moons, have at least one moon that lacks an atmosphere.
How hot are the Moon's temperature at day and night?
This has been answered here:What_is_the_temperature_on_the_moonThe short answer is that there is no atmosphere on the moon and therefor no air temperature.
Which of these causes extreme temperature changes on the moon?
lack of atmosphere
How are the moon colonists protected from radiation and extreme temperature?
the are by the atmosphere
What would happen if the moon did not have an atmosphere?
In fact, the moon does not have an atmosphere. The vacuum of space extends all the way to the surface of the moon. If the moon did have an atmosphere, missions like the Apollo program would not have needed such well insulated spacecraft, as the wild temperatures of the moon would have been better regulated by the atmosphere.
If the moon didn't have an atmosphere what would happem to it?
The moon doesn't have an atmosphere, so nothing.
What if the moon did not have an atmosphere what would happen to it?
The moon does have an atmosphere but it is very thin, it only has one part unlike earth's atmosphere. The atmosphere of the moon is called the Exosphere. Nothing bad will affect it just more craters will be found.
What is the air pressure of the moon?
The air pressure on the moon is essentially zero. The moon has an extremely thin atmosphere, so there is almost no pressure exerted by the gases present there. This lack of atmosphere is one reason why the moon has such extreme temperature variations between day and night.
How might a nitrogen oxygen atmosphere on the moon affect the range of temperatures on the moon?
If it were dense enough, It would make the temperatures less extreme. For instance, nights would be warmer and days cooler. Also, there would not be a sudden drop of temperature from a sunlight area to a shadow area.
