Detailed Solution

The given statement is true.
The moon does not have an atmosphere around it because of the insufficient force of gravity.
The main reason for the moon not having an atmosphere is that the moon is too small in comparison to the earth. The Moon's surface gravity is not enough to hold the particles of the gases of the atmosphere. Because the root means velocities of the gases of the atmosphere are more than the escape velocity of the moon. That's why the moon’s gravity does not hold the atmospheric gases.
