Geology of the Moon

Structure and composition of the Moon

The geology of the Moon (sometimes called selenology, although the latter term can refer more generally to "lunar science") is the structure and composition of the Moon, which is quite different from that of Earth. The Moon lacks a true atmosphere outside of a sparse layer of gas. Because of this, the relative absence of an atmosphere and water eliminates erosion due to weather.
