Can you burn fossil fuels on the moon?

to burn any material, not only fossil fuel, we need three things: 1. Fuel (any material that can be burned, ex: fossil fuel, wood, paper, etc) 2. Ignition (high temperature, or fire sparks) 3. Air and now, if you want to burn fossil fuel on the moon you also need these three factors.. the answer is : NO, because there is no air on the moon ( if there is, it's just in a very small volume and can't be used to burn fossil fuel) ~ ANSWER 2.0 BY RUSSIANS 1)there is no fossil fuel on the moon 2)there no oxygen on the moon however if you bring your own, like the FUEL AND OXIDIZER for rocket engines of American space craft fossil fuel will burn just fine. i believe the fuel used was hydrogen witch is non petroleum so technically it was not fossil fuel. but never the less it was fire in vacuum.
