A baby born and raised on the Moon would face major challenges if they tried to visit or live on Earth 18 years later. The Moon’s gravity is only about one-sixth of Earth’s, so a person growing up there would likely develop with much lower bone density, weaker muscles, and a taller, lankier build compared to Earth-born humans.

If such a person came to Earth as an adult, they would struggle to function in Earth’s much stronger gravity. Their heart, muscles, and bones would not be adapted to handle the increased weight and stress, potentially leading to circulatory issues and even heart failure. Without CONTINUOUS & EXTENSIVE physical training or medical support using technology that doesn't exist yet, they likely would not survive long on Earth.
