Is There Weather on the Moon? We Asked a NASA Scientist

The Moon doesn't have weather in the same way Earth does. There's no atmosphere on the Moon, so there's no air to create the conditions for weather like clouds, wind, or rain. However, there are temperature fluctuations between day and night due to the lack of atmosphere to trap heat. This could make for an interesting video description about the Moon's unique environment.

Is there weather on the Moon? Yes, but not the weather you’re used to. The Sun’s solar wind is a type of “space weather” that can have a big impact on the Moon due to its lack of atmosphere. It can also affect all sorts of things like satellites, electronics and communications. Better understanding how space weather interacts with the Moon will be critical as we send #Artemis astronauts to the lunar surface. https://go.nasa.gov/3WmUB69
