The moon's gravity is 1/6 that of Earths, and there is no water to create a vapor barrier held by gravity to the surface. Hence, no atmosphere which is the gases and water vapor that make an "atmosphere" in the sense the word is being used here. Our atmosphere is all the oxygen,nitrogen, etc and water vapor being held to about a 60+ mile surface altitude above our planet - by gravity / rotational centrifugal forces. Very simple and not entirely complete explanation, but it is what the moon doesn't do.
Because no gravity or water to create vapor.
Why no gravity that doesn't make sense?

Unbelievable. Are you a scientist? Very interesting info.
LOL no, but the moon is not exactly news...
Yeah that is true. Where are you from?
Originally just outside Washington DC in northern Va. Now, I've lived in 6 states and landed in North Carolina.
Why?
