Oil, or more precisely petroleum, is one of 3 types of fossil fuel, the others being coal and methane (methane is also known as natural gas).
Peat is also classified as a fossil fuel because its renewal rate is so very slow it is considered to be essentially non-renewable

Methane is present on the giant gas planets yet on earth it is considered to be a fossil fuel how can there be fossil fuels on other planets or is the premise that methane is of fossil origin false?
The term "fossil fuel" is not a category of matter, but just how that fuel became the way it was. It refers to any substance which can be used as fuel and which originally came from living matter (such as prehistoric plants). It is false that all methane is a "fossil fuel" since only methane deposits that exist as a result of fossilization of plants and animals that died millions of years ago is a fossil fuel. Other methane is not. Methane created in any other manner is not a fossil fuel.

to burn any material, not only fossil fuel, we need three things: 1. Fuel (any material that can be burned, ex: fossil fuel, wood, paper, etc) 2. Ignition (high temperature, or fire sparks) 3. Air and now, if you want to burn fossil fuel on the moon you also need these three factors.. the answer is : NO, because there is no air on the moon ( if there is, it's just in a very small volume and can't be used to burn fossil fuel) ~ ANSWER 2.0 BY RUSSIANS 1)there is no fossil fuel on the moon 2)there no oxygen on the moon however if you bring your own, like the FUEL AND OXIDIZER for rocket engines of American space craft fossil fuel will burn just fine. i believe the fuel used was hydrogen witch is non petroleum so technically it was not fossil fuel. but never the less it was fire in vacuum.
