How easy will it be to use a straw to sip orange juice on the moon?

If you are inside a spaceship with air around you, it would be just as easy as on Earth. If you are outside in the vacuum, it would not work at all. First off, there would be no air pressure outside to push the drink up the straw into the partial vacuum in your mouth. Also, you would be dead.
One thing though. If you are in a spaceship with air, then you need to keep your drink in a juice box or plastic bag, or the lack of gravity would allow the drink to blob away into the air like a lava lamp. In other words, cups are not a good idea!

Can you drink juice on the moon using a straw?
Yes. Drinking with a straw will only be easier, as there is less gravity to hold down the juice.
Will you able to drink juice through a straw on the moon .if not why?
No, as there is no atmosphere on the Moon drinking juice from a straw will not work for the following reasons.the water in the juice will boil away in a few seconds due to the depressed boiling point of water.the second law of thermodynamics will disperse the evaporated water radially so no coherent fluid can existwith no external air pressure the process of sucking will produce no negative pressure gradient for the water to follow.the astronaut will not be able to insert the straw into his pressure sealed space suit to attempt to apply a sucking maneuver. Attempting such is ridiculous anyways as the zero pressure of space and would just result in him getting sucked out of his/her space suit.Oranges don't grow on the moon so there is no Orange Juice to be had.Retail stores don't (as yet) exist on the moon so there is no possible way for orange juice to be retailed for foolish astronauts to attempt drinking it. (Or any juice for that matter. The question wasn't specific.)Anita Bryant doesn't live on the Moon so no one would know about orange juice and its virtues to want to attempt such a thing.There is currently an orange juice embargo against the Moon so no orange juice can be imported for anybody to attempt drinking it there. (Tang doesn't count as orange juice.)Yes, if all the aforementioned problems are curtailed (such as smuggling a juice fruit contained up to the Moon in a pressured space suit. Then the astronaut inside the space suit could suck up the orange juice perfectly well. Anita would have to tell him/her it was there of course.)
Would you be able to suck juice with straw in the moon?
No, unless the moon suddenly gained an atmosphere and grew oxygen out of no where, unless that happened that would be an impossible feat. (The oxygen would only be required to breathe. Ignoring that requirement, any atmospheric pressure would suffice.) Liquid is never "sucked" through straw into your mouth, instead it is pushed by the atmospheric pressure. Without an atmosphere pushing on the liquid in the cup, nothing would ever move. (Actually, quite the opposite would happen if you had any air in your mouth to begin with: the air would blast out of your mouth into the straw and spray the liquid everywhere all over the Moon.) If, however, you were in the lunar module drinking through a straw would be easier than on Earth. Astronauts perform a similar feat all the time, even in a weightless environment orbiting the earth.

Why can't we suck a cold drink through a straw on the moon?
we can not drink cold drink through straw at moon because moon has no atmosphere to exert pressure on liquid
How did Aldrin drink wine on the moon?
with a straw
Why will a straw not work on moon?
When you suck on a straw you generate low pressure, so that means the pressure outside the straw, by contrast is higher and so matter gets sucked into the straw. On the moon there is no atmosphere and so the pressure is zero. No matter how hard you try you cannot create a pressure of less than zero inside the straw and so no suction can occur.
Is the moon an orange?
No.
Which of these words juice joy or just has the same vowel sound as moon?
The word JUICE has the same vowel sound (oo) as the word MOON. In US English, juice rhymes with moose and June rhymes with moon.
What moon has an orange atmosphere?
Titan, a moon of Saturn.
How or why does orange moon occur?
The moon will look orange during a total lunar eclipse, this is because the moon is in Earth's shadow and the sunlight reaching the moon gets bent (directed to Earth then to the moon).
Why is the moon orange or yellow at moonrise?
Because its the blood moon
