Electrolysis separates water molecules into hydrogen and oxygen.
This is a useful process on the moon because we can use water on the moon to supply a colony with a reliable local source of breathable oxygen and burnable hydrogen, rather than having to fly it all the way from earth.

Does the moon have anything that is or might be needed by the earth?
Probably one of the most useful resource on the moon would be titanium, of which there is a high abundance.
What would happen if the moon if it stoped being pulled by earth?
If, by some mysterious process, the gravitational forces between the Earth and moon suddenly disappeared, the moon would continue in the solar orbit in which it already is. But the present relatively small perturbations in that orbit caused by the Earth's presence would smooth out, and the moon's orbit would become truly elliptical, without the small wiggles.
What is the name of the moon phase when the moon is half way around the earth?
Imagine the earth being the center of a clock and the sun way off at 9:00. The moon travels around the earth in a counter-clockwise direction. If the moon was at 3:00, it would be a full moon. If the moon was at 12:00, it would be a half moon. If the moon was at 9:00 it would be a new moon. If the moon was at 6:00 it would be a half moon, then go back to 3:00 and a full moon again.
When was the earth's moon found?
The Moon has been here since before life on Earth began. We believe that the Moon was formed of the debris blasted out of the Earth when another planet plowed into the pre-Earth, and essentially merged with it. This would have been when the Earth was still in the process of formation, about 4.5 billion years ago.
What would a person in the moon see when there is an eclipse of the moon?
During a lunar eclipse, a resident of the Moon would experience a solar eclipse; the Sun would be hidden behind the Earth.
How is the moon useful?
Without the moon we would have no tides and many of the currents that keep the oceans working the way they do would not exist.
What would you find on the moon that would be useful?
The Eagle's landing base and the reflector the Apollo astronauts left (this would prove they actually landed once and for all).Huge amounts of natural resources.Water on the moon would be useful for us.
Would a stellar map be useful on the moon?
no beacuse its a little to stellar.
Why is water electrolysis not the option for getting oxygen on the moon?
There is no liquid water and no electricity
Which device would be most useful for looking at the Moon?
A telescope would give you a detailed view.
Would you need an umbrella on the moon?
Seeing that there is no precipitation on the moon, the answer is no. ______________________________ However, it might be useful as a parasol at protecting you from the intense light of the Sun. :-)
Does the moon have anything that is or might be needed by the earth?
Probably one of the most useful resource on the moon would be titanium, of which there is a high abundance.
Would a parachute work on a lander to earths moon?
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).
Would a box of matches be useful on the moon?
No. Matches need air to burn and there is no oxygen on the moon. Remember, the men who landed on the moon wore moon suits because they carried their own oxygen.
What does the moon help with the day and night process?
The moon helps with the day in night process by holding the Earth's axis in a steady 23.5 degrees. If we didn't have the moon, then our days and nights, as well as seasons, would be completely random, and not to mention, unpredictable. Without the moon, our axis would be nonexistent, and we would have nothing to hold our planet in it's rotation.
How would you describe the reason we can see a new moon if the moon is dark and not reflecting the suns light?
The fact that we don't see it concludes that the process is restarting.
Does the moon have any resources?
The Moon has a gas called Helium 3, which is useful for Nuclear Fusion.
