The surface pressure of the moon is 10E-7 Pa.
Or in kPa 10E-10. (0.0000000001)
This pressure is so small because the moon has virtually no atmosphere. Therefore very little pressure. (This can be contrasted to the average sea-level pressure of Earth at 101325 Pa or 101.325 kPa)
What else can I help you with?
What is the air pressure of the moon?
The air pressure on the moon is essentially zero. The moon has an extremely thin atmosphere, so there is almost no pressure exerted by the gases present there. This lack of atmosphere is one reason why the moon has such extreme temperature variations between day and night.
What happens to water closest to the moon?
Water on the surface of the moon will rapidly turn to water vapor as there is no atmospheric pressure on the moon. The vapor will then escape the moon's gravity which is much weaker than the gravity on Earth.
What is the surface of the moon called?
The outer surface of the moon is called the crust.
Why can't you breath on the surface of the moon?
You can't breathe on the surface of the moon because it has no atmosphere to sustain life. The lack of oxygen and the extremely low air pressure makes it impossible for humans to breathe without proper life support systems.
Why does the Moon's surface is visible to an observer on moon?
because the person is on the moon
What is the air pressure of the moon?
The air pressure on the moon is essentially zero. The moon has an extremely thin atmosphere, so there is almost no pressure exerted by the gases present there. This lack of atmosphere is one reason why the moon has such extreme temperature variations between day and night.
What are some causes of river and coastal flooding?
Low surface pressure and a new moon are the main reasons
What happens to water closest to the moon?
Water on the surface of the moon will rapidly turn to water vapor as there is no atmospheric pressure on the moon. The vapor will then escape the moon's gravity which is much weaker than the gravity on Earth.
What is the surface of the moon called?
The outer surface of the moon is called the crust.
Would a balloon rise in an atmosphere where the pressure was somehow the same at all altitudes Would a balloon rise in the complete absence of atmospheric pressure such as on the surface of the moon?
No
Why is there no barometric pressure on the moon?
The moon is much smaller than the Earth and has a weaker gravitational field. As a result, gas on the lunar surface leaks away into space, rather than forming an atmosphere. And with no atmosphere, there can be no barometric pressure.
Did astronauts actually touch on the moon?
They touched some lunar samples with bare hands, but not the moon itself. They did walk on the moon's surface, but they were in full pressure suits the entire time they were outside the Lunar Module.
Compare air pressure on earth to air pressure on the moon?
The moon has no air pressure because the moon has no air.
What is the surface of the moon?
The moon's surface is regolith (ground up rock).
Is the Moon's surface terrestrial or gas?
The moon has a solid (terrestrial) surface.
To calculate the pressure exerted on a surface what quantity is divided by the surface area?
To calculate the pressure exerted on a surface, the force normal to the surface is divided by the surface area. The formula for pressure is pressure = force / area.
What planet has atmospheric pressures at its surface that are roughly comparable to those at Earth's surface?
Venus has atmospheric pressures at its surface that are roughly comparable to those at Earth's surface, around 92 times the pressure we experience here on Earth. This high pressure is due to Venus' thick atmosphere composed mostly of carbon dioxide.
