What is the escape velocity from the moon for a lunar landing module sitting on the Moon's surface?

The lunar escape velocity, regardless of what object is trying to escape, is about 2.38 km/s, or about 1.5 mi/s.
(This is about 5324 mph, compared to about 25,000 mph on Earth.)

What is the escape velocity from the surface of Mars?
It is 5.0 kms or kilometers per seconed
A rocket that moves upward from earth's surface at escape velocity will?
Escape the earth's gravitational pull and continue out into space. However, a rocket does not need to be launched at the escape velocity as it can continue to accelerate as it climbs. A gun projectile would need to be fired with the escape velocity. In a perfect system with only the projectile and the Earth: If the projectile is fired with the exact escape velocity it will travel to infinity away from the Earth. Upon reaching infinitely far away from Earth the projectile would have zero velocity. All of its kinetic energy (movement) would be transferred to potential energy.
What is the escape velocity of Mars?
The escape velocity on the planet Saturn is 35.5 kilometre per second. That is, a body has to be projected with a velocity of 35.5 kilometre per second so that it can escape from the gravitational pull of the planet. (Escape velocity on the earth is about 11.2 kilometre per second.)
What may happen to a rocket which rises from the earth never attains escape velocity?
A rocket that doesn't reach "escape velocity" will be overcome by gravity and will be pulled back down to Earth. Also, rockets which go into orbit have not reached escape velocity. Escape velocity is what is needed to completely leave earth's gravity well.
There is no atmosphere on the moon. Explain on the basis of escape velocity?
the escape velocity of moon is less than that of earth...so the gas easily escape out and hence moon has no atmosphere..
What is the escape speed from the surface of the earth?
The escape speed from the surface of the earth, or the "escape velocity" from the earth is about 11.2km/s.
What is the escape velocity from the earth surface?
12km/Sec
What is the escape velocity on the surface of venus?
10.36 km/s
What is the escape velocity from the surface of Mars?
It is 5.0 kms or kilometers per seconed
Is the escape velocity higher for the earth or the moon?
The mass of an object is the same wherever it may be. The weight of an object changes however. The weight of an object is the product of its mass times gravity. Gravity is greater on earth than it is on the moon, so an object will weigh more on earth.
What is the escape velocity of the asteroid belt?
Each asteroid has its own escape velocity.
When did Escape Velocity Nova happen?
Escape Velocity Nova happened in 2002.
When did Escape Velocity Override happen?
Escape Velocity Override happened in 1998.
When was Escape Velocity Override created?
Escape Velocity Override was created in 1998.
When was Escape Velocity - Doctor Who - created?
Escape Velocity - Doctor Who - was created in 2001.
Is escape velocity same for all objects?
Yes. It is different for different planets etc. Escape velocity on earth is different than escape velocity on Jupiter.
What is the Sun's escape velocity?
About 617.5 Km/s on Solar surface. About 42.5 Km/s around Earth's orbit.
