How Much Of The Moon Is Down Here On Earth?

How much of the Moon is on Earth? It seems like a silly question, but it’s a valid one. Between astroid strikes sending particles to Earth and the different man-made missions to the Moon collecting rock, there’s a pretty large amount of it down here on Earth. But how much exactly, and where is at all? The video below explores all of that.

As explained in the video, a significant majority of the moon rocks on the planet are in the United States. A majority of that is located in Texas, while another large chunk sits in New Mexico. As for the rest, it’s spread out across the world. You can find the closest moon rock to you by heading to this NASA web page.
