What does a regolith look like?
The bulk of the regolith is a fine gray soil with a density of about 1.5 g/cm3, but the regolith also includes breccia and rock fragments from the local bedrock (reviews by Heiken et al. 1974 and Papike et al. 1982). About half the weight of a lunar soil is less than 60 to 80 microns in size.
How do you make regolith?
A fine dust called regolith covers the moon. The bombardment of micrometeoroids broke the moon's rocks into very tiny pieces, creating regolith. The Earth too, is covered with rocks, soil, and sand. On Earth we study this material to learn more about our world.
