lunar atmosphere

The moon has almost no atmosphere, because of its weak gravity. All types of gas will escape from its surface.

Without atmosphere, there is no wind or water erosion. The moon's surface is about the same now as it was 3 billion years ago. The astronauts' footprints remain unchanged in the moon's surface. The footprints should last at least 10 million years.
