Actually it can, but only on rare occassions, the reason for this, is the fact that there are phenomena, that occur on the moon that could create a moving temporary atmosphere, these are termed "transient lunar phenomena", (TLP's) and are a result of gas emmissions from the subsurface of the Moon, the cause is as yet unknown, for these things, but they are sometimes observed from Earth by binocular, and telescope observations, and rarely by eye sight alone, the rarity of these is high, but a number of them have been recorded, and the presence of Moon rock being found in remote regions suggest that in the past, the jets that happen were quite strong, resulting in this ejecta being forced past the gravitational balance point, between Earth and the Moon, but normally the answer would be no, but it would be a foolish person who would say that the only cause is the presence of an atmosphere, on any planet, or its absence, the indications are that many large bodies in space have these gas emmissions happening, and they can not be discounted as a motive force, albeit rare, the biggest problem is for a flag to survive, that is flexible enough to move and to deal with a temperature that reaches 130C it may also be possible to have happened on Mars in the distant past, as the ejecta from Mars rock has also been found in the arctic region, NASA actually has geologists, whose jobs include finding these, as far apart as the Arctic Circle to the Australian outback.
