Why can astronauts not use parachutes to heip slowdown their spacecraftsas it approaches the moon how do they slowdown their spacecraft?

The moon has no atmosphere, they used small rocket engines to land on the moon. They were on the bottom of the lander.


Is the moon very hot?

No, the moon is quite cold. Unlike the earth and other large planets, the moon's gravity is just a fraction of earth's and so it is not strong enough to retain an atmosphere. So, without an atmosphere, the surface of the moon is no different from deep space... with a floor. Heat energy radiates out into space and dissipates. Thus, the ambient temperature approaches absolute zero.


Which moon is the closest to its home planet?

The moon Phobos orbits Mars in a nearly circular orbit that puts it closer to its host planet than any other known moon in the Solar System. Phobos oftens approaches within 5826 km of the typical Martian surface features. To give you an idea how close that is, our moon only gets about 354,990 km from Earth's surface. (If you're reading about orbits and distances elsewhere, remember that most sources list the distance from the center of the moon to the center of the planet.)


What must the spacecraft do to land softly on the moon?

Generally, soft moon landings have required the use of retro-rockets. These are small rocket engines designed to slow the descent of the spacecraft. On Mars, inflatable airbags have been used. Several teams are now competing to land rovers on the moon as part of the Google Lunar X-Prize...it will be interesting to see if any of them intend to use novel new approaches to achieve soft landings.
