Would water float on the moon?

yes it would, and it would boil at a much much lower temperature than here on earth. boiling point is dependent on air pressure (lower air pressure -> lower boiling point) and since the moon has essentially no atomosphere, room temperature water as soon as it is exposed would vapourize istantly you can see the effect of pressure on boiling point on earth when you try to boil water on a high mountain, it boiling at a much lower temperature.


What conditions are necessary for humans to survive on the moon?

Oxygen, water, and food. And temperature control.


Why does the moon get very hot and very cold?

The moon has no atmosphere. Sunlight strikes the mood completely unimpaired or scattered by atmosphere, and hence the surface of the moon is much hotter than boiling water during the day, and a few hundred degrees below zero at night.


The National Aeronautics and Space Administration NASA says that there is ice on some parts of the moon. What does this tell you about temperatures on these parts of the moon?

The message is that it's really cold there. As the moon has no atmosphere, there is no atmospheric pressure. Atmospheric pressure has a pronounced effect on the boiling point of water. If the water does exist on the moon and it does lie on the surface in a "no-pressure" situation, it would have to be very cold to remain there under the circumstances.


Can man live on the Moon and why?

Absence of atmospheric temperature, difference between day and night and water unfit for human consumption, all make habitation on the moon very difficult, if not impossible.

What is the temperature of Microwaved and boiled water?

With the microwaved water, it pretty much depends on the microwave Owens temperature. Though boiling water is 100 degrees Celsius. (I would like to add): The water's temperature depends how long the microwave runs and the power of the microwave. However, if the water is boiling in the microwave, it is the EXACT same temperature as water boiling on the stove. The microwave is just another method of boiling the water.
