The atmospheric pressure on the Moon is three times ten to the minus twelfth millibars. Its atmosphere is principally helium, neon, hydrogen, and argon, with trace amounts of methane, ammonia, and carbon dioxide. Its crust is a mix of oxygen, silicon, aluminum, calcium, and iron. Its mean temperature is two hundred and fifty Kelvin, or twenty three degrees below zero in Celsius.

It is a barren dusty rock, cold and dead.
