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 lead
Actually 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.
What else can I help you with?
Would a parachute work on a lander to earths moon?
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.
What would happen if you tried to parachute from a hovering spaceship on the moon?
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.
How would the parachute fall on the moon?
Due to the Moon's lower gravity (about one-sixth that of Earth's), a parachute would need to be much larger to slow down a spacecraft effectively. Additionally, the lack of atmosphere on the Moon means that traditional parachutes would not work, so alternative methods like retro-rockets or airbags are used for landing spacecraft.
Why is it a bad idea to land on the moon with a parachute?
It is not feasible to land on the moon with a parachute due to the lack of atmosphere to slow down the descent properly. Parachutes rely on air resistance, which is absent in the vacuum of space. Alternative landing methods, such as using retro rockets or lander legs, are required for safe moon landings.
Can you use parachute fabric on the moon?
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.

Why didn't they use a parachute while landing on the moon?
There's no air
Would you need a parachute on the moon?
It would be better to say that a parachute would be completely useless on the moon. The moon has no atmosphere so a parachute would not slow you down. And yes, you would need to slow down to land safely. The moon's gravity is weaker than Earth's but a high enough fall would still be lethal. Safely landing on an airless world like the moon requires firing a rocket to slow your descent.

What would you find on the moon that would be useful?
The Eagle's landing base and the reflector the Apollo astronauts left (this would prove they actually landed once and for all).Huge amounts of natural resources.Water on the moon would be useful for us.

What number trip to the moon was Apollo 13?
For landing missions, it would have been the third moon landing. For the Apollo program as a whole, it was the 5th trip to the moon.
What is the value of first moon landing 1994?
There was no moon landing in 1994, the final moon landing occurred in December, 1972.
Have humans really went on the moon?
Yes! What would a country gain by faking the moon landing?
Who faked the moon landing?
The moon landing was never faked at all.
