The effect of space weather on the moon

Space weather includes the effects of the variable solar wind, which are charged particles coming from the Sun, as well as meteorites. On the Moon, solar winds and meteorites can directly reach the surface and continuously change the lunar soil. These processes may expel gases from the soil, forming a weak atmosphere known as the lunar exosphere.

On Earth, the atmosphere and magnetosphere largely protect us from space weather, but in the upper layers of the atmosphere, space weather may pose challenges for satellite technologies.

So, is there weather on the moon? The Moon does not experience traditional weather like we know on Earth. But it is exposed to space weather, and this will become crucial to predict as humans return to the Moon, to ensure the safety of human and technological activities there.
