The density of the moon is 3.4 g/cc while that of the earth is 5.5g/cc based on calculations of objects that orbit the earth or the moon and its size. Thsi duifference in density led some to believe the moon is hollow. However the density of the moon is consistent with volcanic lavas rich in the lighter silocn and oxygen compunds also seen on the surface of the earth. Seismic tests i.e. making explosions at one place and recoding the delay as it arrives at another place, allows scientists to determine the materail density at different depths inside a planet or moon. These show the earth to have a relative large super dense molten Iron/Nickel core and the moon to have a tiny one,
So instead of the conclusion that the moon is hollow it is infact has a fairly consistent density across its whole volume, while in comparison the earth has a super dense inner core.

word that interior the 1st line of the Wikipedia get entry to it says that it extremely is a pseudo-clinical theory. It additionally says that there is not any evidence to help the thought that the moon is a hollow sphere... i could no longer have pronounced it greater effective myself. The moon being hollow is in simple terms yet another certainly one of those stupid government conspiracies... or are you relating the thought that the moon grew to become into in simple terms made hollow? there's a pseudo-clinical theory for the moon being hollow in simple terms clearly, and then yet another wacky conspiracy theory with reference to the moon being made via the U. S. government. the two are not actual. As somebody else pronounced, the moon could have infrequently any gravity. and there's a sparkling occasion of its gravity via watching the Apollo project movies. except you desire to challenge the moon landing, yet it incredibly is in simple terms yet another pseudo-clinical theory, and that i prefer to take them separately. The moon could could desire to be organic, because of the fact the government wasn't around whilst ancients first appeared on the moon. or perchance that they had a time device... oh it is clever now. So if the moon grew to become into clearly hollow, it does no longer have sufficient gravity to make itself right into a sphere. It in simple terms does no longer artwork. There could be no rigidity, meaning no hydrostatic equilibrium meaning no sphere. So no, there is not any clinical evidence.

No. For what we now!
But there are many theories/thoughts (not proven of course) that the Earth is hollow, so who knows??

The moon has a creamy cheese filling. It would probably be best served as a spread on crackers. Mmmm!!!

i would just like to dispute with one of the previous answers, the person says its just like a gold ball, this is not true, it's exactly like a golf ball...apart that it's filled with moon stuff and things

If it were hollow, it would crumble.
No, it is not hollow.

the moon is solid but it has craters that were caused by meteors(choose me as best cuz im almost lvl2:) thxs)

I doubt it. theres not enough gravity to make it molten enough to expand inside. By the way Tonto,, where's your camp side-kick these days?
