That's when we start getting in to things like pyroxenes and plagioclase feldspars and olivines. Heiken, G.H. et al, Lunar Sourcebook: a user's guide to the moon. Cambridge ...
The radius of the Moon is measured from its center of mass to its surface. For the Moon this is, on average, about 1,080 miles. The Earth's radius at the equator is 3,963 miles making the Moon's radius 27.25 percent that of the ...
... to experience the Moon's level of gravity. The moon is rich in resources and energy. Humans will use the Moon to generate clean safe energy for the Earth. Humans will also mine metals and other materials on the Moon ...

... the Sun's atmosphere begins to end. We believe the two spacecraft will cross this outer boundary layer within another decade to become the first human spacecraft to ever truly sense what interstellar medium is like. (The interstellar medium is the ...
... to correlate to the titanium content of the glass. The Moon is covered in craters, mountains, valleys and great plains, called Maria. Since the Moon has no atmosphere it's possible to see objects and spacecraft very clearly on the lunar surface ...
Yes, the Moon has many holes from the impact of small meteors striking its surface, since there is no atmosphere to burn them up.
