The moon does not have enough oxygen for us to be able to live there. If this does not fully answer your question then try visiting the NASA website for more detail.

∙ 13y agoThe moon does not have an atmosphere, so it does not have free oxygen like Earth does. Any oxygen on the moon would have to be in compounds like minerals, not as a gas.
The moon has a very thin atmosphere with no oxygen. Therefore, there is no natural oxygen supply on the moon. Humans would need to bring their own oxygen supply if they were to visit or live on the moon.
No moon known in the universe, but Earth's moon has frozen water. correction Jupiter's moon (europa) a candidate for terraforming has Oxygen, Saturn's Moon has Oxygen. but is it breathable? we dont know.
Oxygen makes up less than 0.1% of the Moon's composition, mostly bound in rocks and minerals as oxides. There is no significant free oxygen in the Moon's atmosphere.
There is oxygen on the moon, but not as a gas. It is bound up chemically in minerals. Free oxygen, the gas, is not held to the moon as an atmosphere because the moon has not enough gravity to hold a noticeable atmosphere.
No oxygen is not naturally present on the Moon. The Moon does not have an atmosphere to trap and circulate oxygen like Earth does. However there are some sources of oxygen on the Moon that are created by human activity. These sources include: Oxygen stored in tanks for use in scientific experiments Oxygen created by solar energy to split water molecules in lunar soil Oxygen created by chemical reactions from oxidizing materials on the lunar surface Oxygen generated by lunar landers rovers and other robotic probesHumans have been able to bring oxygen to the Moon but there is still no natural supply of oxygen on its surface.

By oxygen tanks - similar to SCUBA divers.
No
There is no oxygen on the moon required for combustion

because there is no oxygen in moon
There may be oxygen on the moon's surface locked up in chemical compounds of the rocks and dust, but no free oxygen, no. The moon has virtually no atmosphere to speak of.
No, a candle would not burn on the moon because there is no oxygen in the moon's atmosphere to sustain combustion. Oxygen is necessary for fire, and since the moon has very little atmosphere and virtually no oxygen, the candle would not be able to burn.
There is no atmosphere on the moon and no water.
