Have you ever thought about settling on the moon in future? We have seen our near and dear families migrate to different countries often in this era. When anyone plan for migration one of the key factor they check is the weather.
Today let's discuss the Moon’s weather.
Oh, Am sorry... Actually, there is no weather on the moon...Yes, there is no wind there, no clouds, no rain, no snow and no storms, but there is “day and night”. That’s what the scientists say Moon has extreme differences in temperatures depending on where the sun is shining.
Perhaps you may now think about one of the most iconic images from the Apollo 11 mission- Buzz Aldrin saluting the American flag on the surface of the Moon. You may see the US flag fluttering in the pic... But how it will flutter if there is no wind or air?
To compensate for the lack of an atmosphere on the lunar surface, the flag assembly included a horizontal crossbar to give the illusion of a flag flying in the breeze. For many people around the world, the flag-raising was one of the most memorable parts of the Apollo 11 lunar landing.
Another fascinating thing is there are tire tracks and signs of mankind’s footsteps on the Moon. The reason for this is that no winds blow on the moon.
Let's tingle your brain to find out other exciting features you may find on Moon as there is no wind.
