All weather is created under the atmosphere. The atmosphere contains wind and clouds etc. Since there is no atmosphere, there is no clouds or wind on the moon. Which means that there is nothing to create rain, snow or wind gales.

But if the moon receives heat from the sun, how can the vacuum rising heat creates, be filled without wind?

Only what the humans that were there have caused. There is no wind or water, so nothing naturally erodes.

This is true! Weathering on the moon including chemical weathering involving acid hydrolysis, meteorite impacts, solar radiation, and the drastic temperature changes wreak havoc on lunar basalts..

THanks for reading at answer.com :P

nothing ok it is the very same thing i can tell you how the earth was made listen first the moon crashed into the earth then the earth started to form an atmospher thats how it was made

Your mass doesn't depend on where you are. It's the same on earth, under the ocean,

on the moon, on Mars, or in a space capsule sailing from one to the other. Your mass is

the amount of stuff you're made of. It stays with you wherever you go, like the number

of peanuts in a jar. It only changes when you eat more, or exercise more, etc.

Your "weight", on the other hand, is the force of gravity between you and another

mass (usually the earth). The strength of the force depends on both masses ...

change one of them, and the force between them changes.

The moon has much less mass than the earth has, so when you stand on the moon,

the force between the moon and you is much less than the force was between the

earth and you, so your weight changes. But your mass doesn't.

In short, objects with a greater mass have a greater pull. The Earth has a greater mass than the moon.

Long version:

In Newtonian physics, the force of gravity exhibited between two objects is dependent on the mass of each object, as shown in the Force of Gravity equation: Fg=G*m1*m2/r^2. Fg is the force of gravity, G is the gravitational constant, m1 and m2 are the masses of each object, and r is the distance between the objects. The moon, at 7.36*10^22 kg has much less mass than the Earth, at 5.9742*10^24 kg.

If you plug each mass into the equation, independently, along with a constant mass, say a 10 kg ball, at a constant distance, say 10 km; you will get a greater force with the Earth's mass than you will with the moon's mass.

Or:

G*(5.9472*10^24)*10/10^2 is bigger than G*(7.36*10^22)*10/10^2

A different theory:

In General Relativity, gravitation is theorized to be due to the curvature of spacetime imparted by all matter, instead of a force. Objects will move in a straight path through spacetime, but that straight path will be curved if the spacetime through with that path travels is also curved, thus drawing matter towards massive objects. An object with greater mass will warp the spacetime around it more than an object with a lesser mass, therefore having a greater effect on other matter in its vicinity.

That should just about do it.

They will be exactly the same. The mass of an object doesn't change, no matter where it is.

It's weight will change though.

So the weight of a Golf ball on the Moon will be about a sixth of what it is on Earth.

Most of what we normally think of as "weathering" doesn't occur on the Moon - because there is no weather. There is no rain on the Moon, no running water, no wind; none of the elements of natural erosion that we have on Earth. This is because there is no air, and no surface water.

There are two things that happen on the Moon that you might think of as "weathering"; a "rain" of tiny micrometeoroids, and the effects of intense, unfiltered sunlight. When the Sun rises each "morning" (days on the Moon are 29 days long) the Sun's rays heat the surface from below zero to over 200 degrees in a matter of minutes. When the Sun sets, the surface begins to cool. The cycles of heating and cooling cause expansion and contraction, which can cause rocks to break apart.

These factors cause the Moon to be covered in a layer of moondust. Before the Apollo landings, there was a fear that the surface could be covered in FEET of dust; there was even a science fiction story by Arthur C. Clarke called "A Fall of Moondust".

In reality, however, the places where the Apollo spacecraft landed have dust only a couple of inches deep.

Per Sir Isaac newton, we have a formula for describing the gravitational attraction between two bodies with mass (these bodies are often denoted m1 and m2).

The formula, F = G (m1 x m2)/r^2 where r is the distance between two point masses shows that the force, F, is inversely proportional to the square of the distance between the mass points.

In the case of comparing the Earths gravitational pull with that of the moon, the main aspect which differentiates the two gravitational forces is due to the fact that r has a much smaller value for the moon than it does the earth.

Generally speaking, the gravitational pull of the moon is about 1/6th that of the earth. So, if you weigh 180 pounds on earth you'll only weigh about 30 pounds on the moon.

half a pound,always have it =3 and then half it again =1.5 then take away 1

That is not correct. The force of gravitational attraction on the moon's surface is about a sixt that on earth. So a ball weighing 6 pounds on earth should weigh a pound on the moon.

The gravitational constant is, well, constant. It's exactly the same on the moon as it is on the Earth, or on Mars, or at the center of the sun. The moon's gravitational pull is less because it has less mass, but the gravitational constant is the same.

Why dont equal masses of golf balls and ping-pong balls contain the same number of balls?

Because it takes more ping-pong balls to contribute any unit of mass than the number of golf balls required to contribute the same mass. This stems from the fact that one golf ball has more mass than one ping-pong ball.

What is a tool for counting?

Abbacus. Of course if you know an average mass per particle or for a certain number of particles, you can count using a balance. For instance if you have a bag of golf balls and you know that a golf ball typically weighs around 38grams, then just weigh all the golf balls and divide by 38g to find out how many balls there were.
