what is the moon s atmosphere
The Moon has no appreciable atmosphere. The sky is always black and the radiation from the Sun strikes with full force on the surface of the Moon. The lack of atmosphere produces temperature extremes on the Moon that range from -250 degrees F in the dark to +250 degrees F in the light.
The elements sodium (Na) and potassium (K) have been detected in the Moon's atmosphere using Earth-based spectroscopic methods, whereas the isotopes radon -222 and polonium -210 have been inferred from data obtained by the Lunar Prospector alpha particle spectrometer.
