If you were to build a greenhouse on the Moon, how would you do it? Extra-thick glass? Tinted windows?

Question

Remember that there is very little blocking the Sun's rays up there---however, it is doable...

Answer 1

Bubbles.

There is real research going on right now on materials that will harden when exposed to UV light. The liquid can be blown into a large bubble shape at its destination and the strong UV light will harden it to make a usable shell.

Here is an article.

Answer 2

The covers should resist the impact of meteorites, which are not disintegrated by any atmosphere.
Otherwise the holes produced must be repaired quickly to minimize the loss of pressure in the greenhouse.
We could also imagine a self-repairing covering material for tiny impacts.

Answer 3

Maybe Mars would be better.
