I heard the moon is made of cheese... but if that's the case how come it hasn't gone bad yet?

Answer 1

it's not. that's just something people say.

Answer 2

You didn't say how old you are, but the moon being made of cheese is an old-wives tale and not to be believed. The moon is 4.5 billion years old--same as the Earth--and is anything BUT cheese. It is composed of solidified BASALTIC LAVA (basalt is a volcanic rock, usually gray to black in color) in its "sea craters" and its mountain ranges. The impact craters, as they are known, came about from collisions with comets and asteroids, and the larges of these craters is at the moon's south pole (it is 1,390 miles in diameter, and 8 miles deep). Like the earth, the moon has a crust, mantle and core. The crust is made of oxygen, silicon, magnesium, iron, calcium, and aluminum. The mantle is made of the minerals olivine, iron, orthopyroxene, and clinopyroxene. Some lunar basalts contain large amounts of titanium. The core is possibly (no one knows for sure) made up of metallic iron alloyed with small amounts of sulfur and nickel.
Some "moon rocks" were brought back by the astronauts who landed there in 1969. Neil Armstrong was the first human to step foot on an "extraterrestrial body."

Answer 3

It all comes down to the old saying

Up on the Moon there's no air so the cheese does not rot and there is no smell.
