<p style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr">Arabia Weather - Since the Moon does not have an important atmosphere like the Earth, it does not experience traditional weather such as wind, atmospheric temperature changes, or snow and rain. However, the Moon is exposed to what is called <strong>space weather</strong> , which refers to the effect of changing conditions in the solar system on objects.
