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.
