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 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 of the moon Charon?
Charon is the largest satellite of the dwarf planet Pluto and has an escape velocity of 0.36 mi/second or 1,296 miles per hour.
Is there a moon named io?
Io is a moon of Jupiter.
Where is the moon Io located?
The moon Io is located by Jupiter.

Can an intercontinental ballistic missile reach escape velocity?
Yes. Probes have already be sent to the Moon, and other planets; this requires a velocity very near the escape velocity from Earth. Other probes are leaving the Solar System, so they achieved the much higher escape velocity required to escape the attraction from the Sun.
Have any MANNED vehicles reached 'escape velocity' - If so what were they?
Yes, several manned vehicles have reached escape velocity, which is about 25,000 miles per hour. The Apollo spacecraft used during the moon missions reached escape velocity en route to the moon. Also, the Space Shuttle reached escape velocity when it orbited the Earth or traveled to the International Space Station.

What moon is named io?
The moon Io.

Charon is the largest satellite of the dwarf planet Pluto and has an escape velocity of 0.36 mi/second or 1,296 miles per hour.
What is te Formula of escape velocity?
Escape velocity is given by. √2gR or √2GM/R .therefore escape velocity is directly prop. to gravity of a planet or star or any other body. More is the gravity more is the escape velocity. The escape velocity of our earth is 11.2 km/s and that of moon is 2.31 km/s
Is there a moon named io?
Io is a moon of Jupiter.
Where is the moon Io located?
The moon Io is located by Jupiter.
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.
Since it also hav gravity..Why moon has no air in it?
As the moons gravity is comparatively weak the escape velocity from the moon is much lower. The speed of the gasses would exceed this velocity and therefore escape to space. There are of course other factors that effect these matters.
Could Tiger Woods actually hit a ball hard enough to escape the gravity of the moon?
The escape velocity of the moon is over 2 kilometres per second, so that would be a no!
