“Is there wind on the Moon?” 💨

Short answer: no. No wind, no rain, no snow.

With only a very thin atmosphere, and no magnetic field, the Moon can’t protect itself from the elements that come from outer space, making the outlook look bleak for our grey companion.

What the Moon does experience is solar wind, a stream of tiny particles coming from the Sun.

During some parts of the month, Earth’s own magnetic field partially shields the Moon from the stream of solar wind particles that constantly bombard it.
