Not really, except perhaps as a sunshade (if you had something to support it on).
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.
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.
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.]
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.
Parachute fabric would not be suitable for use on the moon as there is no atmosphere to create drag necessary for parachutes to work. Additionally, the extreme temperatures and lack of breathable air on the moon would pose challenges to the functionality of any fabric. Specialized materials and technologies would be needed for any equipment used on the moon.
The first parachute was made from silk. André-Jacques Garnerin, who invented the parachute in 1797, used a silk parachute to make successful jumps.
Warm to the touch-no.
Most of the silk parachutes are worth a price ranging between $50 and $75. The price you can get will depend upon its condition and the age of the parachute.
Blanchard developed the first foldable parachute made from silk.

yes he invintend a square silk one

Something about parachute silk...
Gravity. A parachute uses the force pushing up on a large area of silk to resist the force of gravity, allowing for a controlled descent and landing.

Possibly, but tin foil is rather fragile, and easily torn. A cotton or silk fabric would make a better, more resilient, parachute.
