The moon is a hostile environment for human beings due to its lack of atmosphere and extreme temperature fluctuations. It has no air, water or weather. Temperatures vary greatly from 110°C to -173°C depending on whether the surface is in sunlight or shadow. Sound cannot exist on the moon because it needs air to travel through, and the lunar sky is black as there is no atmosphere to scatter blue light. While the moon may seem like an inviting place from Earth, its conditions would make extended human survival very challenging.

The moon ___(1)___ been described ___(2)___ songwriters and ___(3)___ as a
___(4)___ for a ___(5)___ escape. We ___(6)___ of course ___(7)___ the moon ___(8)___ actually a ___(9)___ hostile environment ___(10)___ human beings. ___(11)___ moon is ___(12)___ devoid of ___(13)___ because the ___(14)___ of gravity ___(15)___ the moon ___(16)___ much less ___(17)___ on the ___(18)___. The moon ___(19)___ much smaller; ___(20)___ surface is ___(21)___ as large ___(22)___ Africa. The ___(23)___ of a ___(24)___ gravitational pull ___(25)___ caused any ___(26)___ the moon ___(27)___ have had ___(28)___ leak out ___(29)___ space over ___(30)___ 4.6 billion ___(31)___ that it ___(32)___ been in ___(33)___. Of course, ___(34)___ there is ___(35)___ water, there ___(36)___ also no ___(37)___. So if ___(38)___ go, bring ___(39)___ lunch. There ___(40)___ no air ___(41)___ the moon ___(42)___ its gravity ___(43)___ insufficient to ___(44)___ an atmosphere. ___(45)___, travellers to ___(46)___ moon require ___(47)___ only oxygen ___(48)___ water but ___(49)___ protection against ___(50)___ rays that ___(51)___ unfiltered by ___(52)___ atmosphere. No ___(53)___ also means ___(54)___ weather –– no ___(55)___, no rain, ___(56)___ clouds. Temperatures ___(57)___ the moon ___(58)___ quite extreme, ___(59)___ from 110℃ ___(60)___ -173℃. This ___(61)___ because there ___(62)___ no atmosphere ___(63)___ filter the ___(64)___ rays when ___(65)___ is shining ___(66)___ then to ___(67)___ in warm ___(68)___ when the ___(69)___ goes down. ___(70)___ extremes of ___(71)___ are particularly ___(72)___ during a ___(73)___ eclipse when ___(74)___ earth passes ___(75)___ between the ___(76)___ and the ___(77)___, temporarily blotting ___(78)___ the sun’s ___(79)___. At such ___(80)___ the temperature ___(81)___ the moon ___(82)___ very rapidly ___(83)___ then rises ___(84)___ as the ___(85)___ emerges from ___(86)___ earth’s shadow. ___(87)___ change in ___(88)___ may be ___(89)___ much as ___(90)___ in one ___(91)___! This sudden ___(92)___ can cause ___(93)___ to shatter ___(94)___ to the ___(95)___ expanding and ___(96)___. Thus if ___(97)___ visit the ___(98)___, deciding what ___(99)___ wear could ___(100)___ a problem. ___(101)___ is no ___(102)___ or dawn ___(103)___ the moon. ___(104)___ the earth, ___(105)___ moon does ___(106)___ shine by ___(107)___ own light; ___(108)___ reflects the ___(109)___ of the ___(110)___. Unlike the ___(111)___, however, there ___(112)___ no atmosphere ___(113)___ diffuse the ___(114)___ as day ___(115)___ night and ___(116)___ turns into ___(117)___. Changes from ___(118)___ to dark ___(119)___ dark to ___(120)___ occur suddenly. Saya Lwin Mg ___(121)___ lunar sky ___(122)___ black. Blue ___(123)___ on the ___(124)___ is produced ___(125)___ the scattering ___(126)___ blue light ___(127)___ the spectrum ___(128)___ particles of ___(129)___. On the ___(130)___ stars are ___(131)___ in the ___(132)___, but you ___(133)___ have to ___(134)___ your eyes ___(135)___ the unfiltered ___(136)___ to view ___(137)___. There is ___(138)___ sound on ___(139)___ moon. Sound ___(140)___ on waves ___(141)___ air molecules. ___(142)___ there is ___(143)___ air, there ___(144)___ nothing to ___(145)___ sound. Leave ___(146)___ transistor home. ___(147)___, the moon ___(148)___ not a ___(149)___ the way ___(150)___ earth is. ___(151)___ can leave ___(152)___ compass home ___(153)___. The moon ___(154)___ a satellite ___(155)___ the earth, ___(156)___ around the ___(157)___ once every ___(158)___ and a ___(159)___ days. The ___(160)___ itself rotates ___(161)___ it does ___(162)___ very slowly. ___(163)___ the same ___(164)___ of the ___(165)___ is always ___(166)___ to us. ___(167)___ get to ___(168)___ moon, you ___(169)___ have to ___(170)___ 240,000 miles, ___(171)___ distance that ___(172)___ about the ___(173)___ as circling ___(174)___ earth at ___(175)___ equator ten ___(176)___. It is ___(177)___ that if ___(178)___ were making ___(179)___ trip to ___(180)___ moon, you ___(181)___ need to ___(182)___ more than ___(183)___ toothbrush and ___(184)___ change of ___(185)___. Its adverse ___(186)___ would make ___(187)___ very difficult ___(188)___ a visitor ___(189)___ the earth. Saya Lwin Mg
