The environment at the lunar surface
Abstract
The geologic nature of the lunar surface and the composition of the lunar atmosphere are discussed. General characteristics are presented such as the strength of the moon's gravitational field. The properties of seismic signals which occur deep within the moon at depths of 700 to 1100 km and are related to tidal forces inside the moon are examined. Tables are also provided of the composition of the lunar atmosphere at night, and of the micrometeorite fluxes on the moon. The magnetic field, radiation environment, composition of regolith, and crater morphologies are also discussed.
