Question:1
Soil phase diagram of earth planet consists of Air, Water and Solid as per http://www.eng.fsu.edu/~tawfiq/soilmech/lecture.html (Lecture #2)

As there is no air and water on the moon or its surface. This means that phase diagram of moon’s soil will only be solids which can not be pressed.

So my question is how print was formed on moon surface. I believe that voids among the dust partials are filled by the vacuum which can’t be pressed further. Moreover why did vacuum not replace those voids which were displaced in printing?

Question:2
Earth revolve around the sun with certain velocity in its orbit. What is the effect of vacuum that left behind the earth in its orbit on earth’s velocity? Technically increase or neutral ? Further how earth enter into the oncoming vacuum in its orbit and where the vacuum go? Displace/ replace ? Explain please?

The moons surface is dust created by meteor impacts. No atmosphere protects the lunar surface and no process solidifies the dust so you get footprints.

The Earth is surrounded by space, a near vacuum. So there is nothing getting displaced and no vacume getting created.

I'm not really sure about you're question here, as youre english is a little hard to understand.

The moon does not have 'Soil' on it, I don't think. It is more like dust and ice. If there is dust, then there are bound to be places where the dust particulates are arranged so that when a pressure is put on them, they compress further against each other. The spaces between the dust particles is filled by a vacuum, yes, but a vacuum can be compressed, as it is nothing, and you can have as much nothing as you want in a space, as there isn't aything there!

The majority of space is a vacuum, with nothing in it. My understanding is that the velocity of something that is at equalibrium in a vacuum remains the same, and that is what the earth is at, more or less. I don't think that a vacuum is displaced like water or air, as I said before it is empty space just waiting to be filled by something.

I wouldn't quote me on those though, I may be completely wrong.

You seem to have some misunderstanding of what vacuum is. It is nothing, mere empty space, and therefore there is nothing to be compressed or move out of the way. When Earth moves into the vacuum, it is simply occupying previously empty space. Same thing with the lunar soil. The vacuum between grains offers no resistance whatsoever to any rearrangement.

On Earth, we may think of vacuum as a force: create a vacuum under a bell jar and you can't lift it. But the force holding the bell jar down is the pressure of the atmosphere above it, which is no longer balanced by the pressure inside the jar.

By its properties, vacuum is the most "compressible" filler possible. If you have a volume of X litres (the value of X does not matter, it can be as big as you want), "filled" with perfect vacuum, you can compress it to zero without raising its pressure nor its temperature.

You cannot do that with any substance.

Therefore, your premice "partials are filled by the vacuum which can’t be pressed further" is wrong.

dust particles have cristal-like borders (could be represented by fractals, for example) and are held together -- or kept apart, depending on the corresponding charges -- by a weak polarisation or static-electricity bond. The static electricity comes from the bombardment of the dust by charged solar wind particles.

The fractal-like space between each particle is indeed "filled with vacuum" (almost, there may be a few atoms of Xenon and a few molecules of heavy gases -- but that is still a better vacuum than the best vacuum ever achieved in a lab). When someone steps on a layer of dust, the voids are compressed (it is easy to compress vacuum) and the fractal-like 'tendrils' of the particle edges are crunched together (like the two parts of velcro) so that most of the particles will retain their new 'closeness' to their neighbours.

Some will not and microscopic portions of the print will deteriorate almost immediately.

Also with time (lots of time), charged solar-wind particles will rebuild the static electricity. When two very close particles of dust get charged up with static electricity to the point where the repulsion force exceed the 'hooking force' of the velcro-like edges, they will break their bonds.

The prints may erode (but it would take thousands of years).

As for the Earth moving through anything, the idea came up in the 17th century, as a way to explain planetary movements (swirling vortices -- best described by R.Descartes 1596-1650). At the time, science did not accept the idea of a force acting at a distance without a medium. Therefore it was thought that the vacuum was itself a substance (aether).

"Descartes maintained that there could be no vacuum, and all matter was constantly swirling to prevent a void as corpuscles moved through other matter." (wiki)

After Isaac Newton provided an explanation for a force acting at a distance (gravity), the idea of vortices began to lose favor. It was finally dropped after a famous experiment to detect aether in the late 19th century (1887).

Vacuum is nothingness. The Earth does not have to push against anything in its movement around the sun, therefore, it does not have a 'wake' of vacuum (or of anything else) behind it.

The only 'wake' that Earth leaves behind is a pair of gravitational waves that spiral outwards and carry energy at a rate of 300 Watts. This is extremely small in astronomical terms (by comparision, the energy put out by the Sun as light and heat is 385,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 Watts).

Because we are losing energy (300 W), our orbit should spiral inwards very slowly (trillions of years); however, the Sun is losing energy so much faster that its mass diminishes (E = mc^2 and all that) so that our orbit actually spirals outwards (a few centimetres per million years).


---
In summary:
Vacuum CAN be compressed (quite easily)
Earth has not substantial wake. (here, substantial really means: made of substance)

well...
First, remember that the current status is not as it was when the "print" was created - time and velocity - vacuum and orbit have altered.
Recall please that we have not seen any alteration to the moon since recording first started.
The second part is answered when you work out the first part

Final result end with like sea waves, and storm
how?
because are you observe different between full moon day and amavasya day's waves and the air speed and direction.
I unable to explain it properly . To understand this go through encyclopedia!!!!!
