A parachute works on Earth by effectively 'trapping air' inside of it, creating a large surface area and so a large amount of wind resistance or friction. As there is no atmosphere on the moon, there is no air to be trapped and therefore no friction. So no, a parachute would not work on the moon.
A parachute works using air resistence. There is no air on the moon. Therefore a parachute would only pull you down faster. If ur planning on going to the moon i suggest you try a jetpack.
A parachute works only on the principle of drag. The parachute's surface area covers a large area of air hence increasing the air resistance. As the moon has no atmosphere, hence a parachute won't work on the moon.
No because there is no air in space so if you skydive in space you would die. Also there is no gravity in space so if you skydive you wouldn't come back down.
Well you could wear a suit like what the astronauts wear and, there is gravity on the moon. It is about 83.3% of Earth's gravity.
Yes, since there is an atmosphere. But! it's very thin so you can't use one that's designed to be use on Earth ... it must be quite large.
Because you would fall slowly, and it wouldn't hurt at all.
No. Atleast I don't think so. I think it's jimpossible
no
It would not work because there is less air resistance on the moon
yes it does cause if there was no gravity then ur parachute would be going up
make a big parachute
Possibly, but tin foil is rather fragile, and easily torn. A cotton or silk fabric would make a better, more resilient, parachute.
A skydiver - he uses a parachute that slows him down as a result of air resistance acting on the surface of the parachute
parachute is opened to provide air which manages the slow chute
A parachute requires the drag of the atmosphere to slow the descent. As there is no atmosphere on the Moon, a parachute would be as useful as a chocolate diaper (nappy).
Parachutes work because the resistance of the atmosphere slows them down.The moon has no atmosphere to speak of, therefore it would not impede the progress of a parachute. it would simply fall like a brick..Because there is or no air on moon parachutes need air to work. in other words a parachute on the moon would fall as fast as a block of leadActually there is gravity on the moon, but there is no air to slow the parachute down, and so it wouldn't make any difference to the falling speed.Parachutes need an atmosphere to work by causing air drag. The moon haven't got enough atmosphere for that to happen.
A parachute requires air (or an atmosphere) to work. So the parachute would be useless and fall at the same rate as you. Depending on your height, you would probably sustain severe injury and die.
There is no air in the moons atmosphere so a parachute would not open.
It would be better to say that a parachute would be completely useless on the moon. The moon has no atmosphere so a parachute would not slow you down. And yes, you would need to slow down to land safely. The moon's gravity is weaker than Earth's but a high enough fall would still be lethal. Safely landing on an airless world like the moon requires firing a rocket to slow your descent.
unable to be answered as it is not humanly possible to land on the moon with a parachute .The reason for this is the gravitational force.
No, a parachute requires an atmosphere.
Yes it would work. But there would be nothing for it to work against, because there is no gravitational force.If there was no gravity and some other force working on the parachute, such us it being pulled behind a car, then if there was air or another fluid present, then there would be drag, just as in a gravity environment.
Yes they will
In theory, maybe. In practice it would almost certainly tumble.it would probably work if you have something to hang your slef under it...not by the neck :Plike a parachute...put it up-side down and ... voilá :)
no it will not
There is no atmosphere on the moon. The parachute will not open. [The good news is: at one-sixth (1/6) the gravity, you will only hit with one-sixth the force.]
