They now know that it is made up of many of the same materials. But scientists find that the moon is different from the Earth in many ways. For example, the moon has no atmosphere to carry sound; as a result, no matter what happens on the moon’s surface, no sound is heard. Without an atmosphere, water disappears into space. That is why no water can find on the surface of the moon, although some water is trapped inside rocks. Without water, there can be no weather. So if you go to the moon, you will never see a cloud, get wet in a rainstorm, or feel the wind blow.
