Why a parachute would not be useful in landing on the moon?
Parachutes work because the resistance of the atmosphere slows them down.The moon has no atmosphere to speak of, therefore it would not impede the progress of a parachute. it would simply fall like a brick..Because there is or no air on moon parachutes need air to work. in other words a parachute on the moon would fall as fast as a block of leadActually there is gravity on the moon, but there is no air to slow the parachute down, and so it wouldn't make any difference to the falling speed.Parachutes need an atmosphere to work by causing air drag. The moon haven't got enough atmosphere for that to happen.
What would happen if you tried to parachute from a hovering spaceship on the moon?
A parachute requires air (or an atmosphere) to work. So the parachute would be useless and fall at the same rate as you. Depending on your height, you would probably sustain severe injury and die.
Would a parachute work on a lander to earths moon?
A parachute requires the drag of the atmosphere to slow the descent. As there is no atmosphere on the Moon, a parachute would be as useful as a chocolate diaper (nappy).
Can you use parachute fabric on the moon?
There is no air in the moons atmosphere so a parachute would not open.
Why is it a bad idea to land on the moon with a parachute?
unable to be answered as it is not humanly possible to land on the moon with a parachute .The reason for this is the gravitational force.

Would you need a parachute on the moon?
It would be better to say that a parachute would be completely useless on the moon. The moon has no atmosphere so a parachute would not slow you down. And yes, you would need to slow down to land safely. The moon's gravity is weaker than Earth's but a high enough fall would still be lethal. Safely landing on an airless world like the moon requires firing a rocket to slow your descent.

Who would fall faster a man with a small parachute or a man with a large parachute?
The man with a small parachute will fall faster.

Would a pen fall on the Moon if you let go of it?
No. It would fall through the moon.
Would a Parachute work on the moon?
A parachute works on Earth by effectively 'trapping air' inside of it, creating a large surface area and so a large amount of wind resistance or friction. As there is no atmosphere on the moon, there is no air to be trapped and therefore no friction. So no, a parachute would not work on the moon.A parachute works using air resistence. There is no air on the moon. Therefore a parachute would only pull you down faster. If ur planning on going to the moon i suggest you try a jetpack.
Can you put the word parachute in a sentence?
The man jumped out of a plane using a parachute so he would fall safely to the ground. We used a parachute so we could land safely on ground.
Who would fall faster at a short distance small parachute or large?
a small parachute becouse it has less air ressitance meaning it traps less air than a big parachute.
What effect would opening a parachute have on a skydiver's fall?
Only if they have a heart attack, but not likely.
How does a parachute effect free fall?
If the parachute is too small, then the load it is carrying will fall faster, the same thing is with big parachutes. If it is medium sized it will fall at a desirable rate than a larger or smaller parachute.
