It depends on what you are driving or flying.

How much fuel is needed to get to the moon and back in a spacecraft?

The actual amount of fuel needed to travel to the moon and back depends on the specific spacecraft and propulsion system used. However, it typically requires a significant amount of fuel due to the distance and speed required to make the journey. For example, the Apollo missions used approximately 300,000 gallons of fuel to reach the moon and return to Earth.


Which requires more fuel -- a rocket going from the Earth to the Moon or a rocket coming from the Moon to Earth?

A rocket traveling from the Earth to the Moon requires more fuel due to Earth's stronger gravitational pull. The rocket needs to overcome Earth's gravity to escape its orbit, which requires a significant amount of energy compared to landing and taking off from the Moon, where the gravitational pull is weaker.


How much fuel needed to get to the moon?

It would take approximately 2.9 kilometers per second of delta-v to reach the moon. The amount of fuel needed depends on the specific rocket design, but it is typically a large amount due to the distance and gravitational forces involved in the journey.


Is the moon in back of the earth or in the shadow in a lunar eclipse?

The moon is in Earth's shadow during a lunar eclipse. Earth doesn't have a definite front or back.


What energy can you use to go to the moon?

Rocket fuel is typically used to propel a spacecraft to the moon. The rockets have powerful engines that burn fuel, producing the necessary thrust to escape Earth's gravity and reach the moon's orbit. The fuel can be a combination of liquid or solid propellants that generate the energy needed for the spacecraft to travel through space.

Which requires more fuel a rocket goin to the moon or a rocket comin from the moon?

Due to the higher gravity amount, a rocket will be pulled back when leaving earth, and pulled forward when going to earth.

If you were going to the moon what would you bring?

1. A means to land on the moon and return to earth. 2. Sufficient fuel for the trip there and back. 3. Sufficient food and water for the trip there and back. 4. A therman and radiation protective pressure suit to walk on the moon.

Does the Earth have Moon rocks?

Rocks were brought back to the Earth from the various Moon landings the Americans undertook. No other rocks from the Moon are on Earth. The Moon was formed from the Earth - so, if anything, there are Earth rocks on the Moon.


How much fuel did it take to travel to the moon and back?

It took about 199,000 gallons to the moon and 189,001 gallons back
