Is it really possible to "stand on the moon"?

Ok. Let's compare Earth to a bubble, right? All the continents and everything are INSIDE it. Is the Moon the same way, or is it like per say, a rock that you land on top on but not inside of?
Can anyone help me please? Thanks in advance!
 
We're actually On earth, and the moon is the same, but you'll be a little bit lighter.
 
The question you ask is based upon a faulty assumption...

The earth is not like a bubble. It is like a golf ball with a nickle-iron center that is floating in molten lava. The outer skin is a hard crust
that is wet in some places.

The Moon is somewhat similar but much smaller. It is a solid rocky object. If you landed upon it, you would have landed on its surface.

I recommend that you visit

to get a better idea of what is going on out in space.
 
What are you talking about?

We are not INSIDE of the Earth. We are standing on the surface.


And why couldn't you stand on the moon in the same way that you stand on the Earth? It just has no air, that's all.
 
You can land, stand, roll, and golf on the lunar surface... I have no idea what your analogy is getting at, but the only things that are really different are that there is no atmosphere, no water, and about 1/6th the gravity, etc.
