Walking on the Moon would be a wild adventure! Everything would feel different from walking on Earth. The Moon has much less gravity, no air, and no sound at all. You would need a special spacesuit to survive, but it would be the coolest walk you could ever take!
Because the Moon has only one-sixth of Earth’s gravity, you would feel super light! You could jump six times higher than you can on Earth. Walking would feel more like bouncing. There is no air on the Moon, so you would not hear any sounds. The sky would be black even during the day, and you could see Earth shining brightly above you!
- The Apollo astronauts said walking on the Moon felt like walking on a giant trampoline.
- Moon dust is very fine and sticky, and it got all over the astronauts’ suits.
- Your footprints on the Moon would last for millions of years because there is no wind or rain to wash them away!
