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 use is a life raft on the moon?

A life raft would not be useful on the moon as there is no water or large bodies of liquid to float on. The moon's surface is airless and its gravity is much weaker than Earth's, so a life raft would not function in that environment.


Would a parachute work on a lander to earths moon?

No, a parachute would not work on a lander descending to the Moon because there is no atmosphere on the Moon to create the needed drag for the parachute to slow down the descent. Other methods such as retro-rockets or thrusters are used for landing on the Moon.


Why a parachute would not be useful in landing on the moon?

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.


Would a moon constellation map be helpful on the moon?

Using a star map could potentially be useful as we used the stars to navigate in the times before advanced technology. Since the distance between the Earth and the moon is tiny compared to the distance between stars the constellations you see from the moon are exactly the same ones you see from Earth.


Would a stellar map of the moons constellations help you on the moon?

No, since the moon has no atmosphere, a stellar map of the moon's constellations would not be useful for navigation or orientation on its surface. The lack of atmosphere means that there is no twinkling of stars and the sky appears pitch black, with stars visible all around, making it difficult to discern constellations.

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.
