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.
What else can I help you with?
What does the moon don't have?
moon don't have atmosphere, plants and water.
How many planets have liquid water on them?
Scientists have found evidence of liquid water on Mars, Europa (a moon of Jupiter), Enceladus (a moon of Saturn), and possibly Ganymede (another moon of Jupiter). These are the known bodies in our solar system with liquid water.
How is the composition of the moon different from Earth's composition?
The Moon is primarily composed of rock and metal, lacking Earth's liquid outer core and thick atmosphere. It has a higher abundance of certain elements like iron and aluminum, while lacking volatile elements like water and carbon dioxide found on Earth. Additionally, the Moon lacks geological activity, such as plate tectonics and volcanism, which are essential processes shaping Earth's composition.
Which planet has more water than earth?
There is no planet in the solar system which has more water than earth. Europa (a moon of the planet Jupiter) is thought to have a liquid ocean under a mantel of ice, but this moon is no larger than our own moon.
What is the arrangement of earth the moon and the sun of a lunar eclipse?
Sun, Earth, Moon. The moon is covered by the Earth's shadow.
Why does earth have a liquid supply of water and the moon does not?
Earth has a liquid supply of water due to its atmosphere, gravity, and positioning in the habitable zone around the sun. The moon lacks these factors, leading to the absence of a liquid water supply on its surface.
Why does earth have a liquid water supply and the moon?
Earth has a liquid water supply due to its distance from the sun, its atmosphere, and its geologic activity which helps maintain temperatures suitable for liquid water. The moon lacks these factors, leading to its lack of liquid water supply.
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.
How long has the moon been whithout water?
the moon has watter
Does earth's moon have a hydrosphere?
No, Earth's moon does not have a hydrosphere. There is no evidence of liquid water on the moon's surface.
Is their lava on the moon?
No, The moon does not have a liquid core like Earth
What resource is found on Earth but not on the Moon?
Liquid water
Why does earth have a liquid water supply the moon does not?

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.
What common earth substance is not found on the moon?
Water is a common earth substance that is not found on the moon in its liquid form. While there is evidence of water in the form of ice on the moon's surface, there are no bodies of liquid water like oceans or lakes.
Is the moon surface drier than the earth?
Yes, there is virtually no liquid on the surface of the moon.
Is earth moon a gas liquid solid?
It's a solid
