Does The Moon Have An Atmosphere?

Unlike the Earth, the Moon does not have an atmosphere. Temperatures on the Moon’s surface fluctuate dramatically from blistering heat during the day (100° C) to frigid cold during the night (-173° C). With no atmosphere, there is also no wind. Footprints of the Apollo astronauts and those of future explorers may last for thousands of years!
