      Hi taylormorgan. I am a biologist, not an astrophysicisit, but my understanding is that there is no weather on the moon because there is no atmosphere. That means there is no wind, no rain – the footprints that the astronauts left, and the wheel tracks from their cool moon buggy, are still there exactly how they left them.

      Unless of course they never landed at all, and the whole thing was staged by NASA… 😉
