How is treat transferred away from the surface of the moon if the moon has no atmosphere?

By radiation. The moon radiates electromagnetic energy, as does just about anything warmer than absolute zero.

Where is the air the least dense?
The farther away from the Earth's surface, the less dense the air will be. Of course, once you break out of the atmosphere, there will be no air around you.
What planet has the least atmosphere?
Of the four inner planets, Venus - pressure at the surface is about 95 times the pressure on Earth. The gas giants, however, don't have a surface like Earth; the atmosphere just keeps getting denser and denser as you go down. Probably the answer is "Jupiter", it being the largest of the gas giants.
Does mars have Heavy atmosphere light atmosphere or no atmosphere?
Mars has a thinner atmosphere than earth but currently it's still able to have storm systems like wind and dust storms. Mars may have had an atmosphere as dense as Earth's at one time. On November 21, 2008, however, researchers announced new evidence that the atmosphere of Mars was and is still being stripped away by the Solar Wind.
Why are there still footprints on the moon?
The lack of atmosphere means there is no wind, or rain, etc. to either erode or wash away the footprints. The only way for the footprints to be disturbed would be from an impact event, such as a meteor striking the moon's surface near the prints and disturbing the surface.
Does the distance from the sun affect the earth's temperature?
Because of the Earths atmosphere, the distance from the Sun, does not affect the temperature on the surface of the Earth. In the northern hemisphere, we are closer to the Sun in winter and the furthest away in summer.
What is the layer of earths atmosphere farthest away from earths surface?
Thermosphere, it is also the atmosphere with the highest temperatures.
How does air density change throughout the atmosphere?
Air density is higher near the surface of the Earth. As you climb away from the surface, the pressure decreases.
Why does pressure decrease as you move away from the surface?
As you rise up through the atmosphere, there is less of the atmosphere above you to press down on you. Thus less pressure.
Plutos surface pressure?
Pluto's surface pressure is said to be 6.5-24 ubar. The atmosphere tends to freeze and fall away from the Sun's direction.
When a light ray passes obliquely through the atmosphere in an upward direction how does its path generally change?
Most of the time, a light ray passing through the atmosphere in any direction curves away from its original direction toward the earth's surface. Occasionally, light can proceed straight through the atmosphere with no change in direction. Rarely, it can bend away from the surface.
How does Pluto's atmosphere effect the temperature of Pluto?
Pluto's atmosphere consists of a very thin surface of methane, nitrogen, and carbon monoxide, made from the ice on its surface. As Pluto moves away from the Sun, its atmosphere gradually freezes and falls to the ground. As it gets closer to the Sun, the temperature of Pluto's surface increases, causing the ice to turn into gas. This creates an "anti greenhouse" effect cooling the surface of Pluto.
How is air pressure effected by altitude?
With a higher altitude, there is a lower air pressure. This is caused by gravity pulling the gas molecules of our atmosphere closer to its surface. when the molecules are farther away from the Earth's surface the gravitational pull is weaker thus making the atmosphere thinner higher up and thicker closer to the surface.
What is the surface features of mercury?
The surface of Mercury is a bit like that of the moon. There is no real atmosphere as the planet is too close to the sun and is not massive enough. It is pitted with billions of craters, from meteor impacts, though as there is to atmosphere, there is no weather to errode the features away over time.
Why foot prints made on the moons surface will remain forever why?
because there is no atmosphere which means no wind so there footprints cant be blown away.
Where is the air the least dense?
The farther away from the Earth's surface, the less dense the air will be. Of course, once you break out of the atmosphere, there will be no air around you.
What is planet mercury's surface pressures?
Planet Mercury's Surface pressure is almost none existent. This is due to its low gravity and extremely thin atmosphere that has been blasted away by solar winds.
What prevents Venus' atmosphere from being stripped away by the solar wind if it has no magnetic field?
It's gravity that holds it down. Also it's a very thick atmosphere with surface pressure of 95 atmospheres.
