The moon looks very beautiful from the earth there is no air and water on the Moon. As you know plants and animals need both air and water to live so there are no plants or animals on the Moon. The moon is covered with huge potholes called craters. The gravitational pull of the moon is six times less than that of the earth so your weight on the Moon is one sixth of your weight on the earth. It a person weight is 60kg on the earth he would weight 10kg on the Moon.
