Since there is no external pressure to counteract the internal gas pressure, the gas would expand until the balloon burst.

Would balls behave differently on the moon?

yes as their is less gravity on the moon the balls would be lighter and float away like a balloon, so they would behave like a balloon instead of a ball.

The mass of the balloon and its contents would be unchanged.

If a helium balloon was released on the moon surface what would happen?

Balloons can fly in the Earth's atmosphere when they are lighter than air itself, the "heavy" air pushing the balloon up. The moon has no atmosphere, so any object, even a helium balloon, would simply fall to the surface of the moon, although relatively slowly since moon's gravity is only 1/6th as strong as it is on Earth. Also, the only force resisting the expansion of the balloon would be the rubber skin itself, without atmospheric pressure on the outside to back it up. So the gas inside the balloon would expand to whatever volume and pressure it wanted for its temperature, and if the rubber couldn't hold that pressure, then the balloon would explode. The difference, compared to its behavior on earth, would be 14.6 pounds per square inch missing from the outside of the balloon. On the Earth, a helium balloon will float away, and a feather dropped will flutter down to the ground slowly. A hammer will fall rapidly. On the Moon, all three items would fall at the same speed!


What will happen to a hydrogen balloon released on the moon?

It will fall. Wht makes a balloon rise is if what it's filled with is lighter than what's around it. But if the balloon is on the moon, what's around it is basically vacuum - nothing. And any gas is always something, and something is heavier than nothing.


What would happen if the moon revolved in the opposite direction?
