How can you breathe on the moon?

The only way to breathe on the Moon is if you have a spacesuit with an air tank. The Moon does not contain the oxygen necessary for life. When we move to the Moon and begin to set up permanent colonies there, the habitats will be pressurized just as a space suit is.


How do people on the moon get air?

By bringing it with them. The recent discovery of water on the moon means that, theoretically, oxygen can be separated from hydrogen (with a strong electrical current) and re-introduced into an astronaut's air supply. The separated hydrogen can be used as fuel.


Do earth's moon have air?

Why no moon has its own moon?

Why do astronautts on the moon kneed to take oxygen with them?

Astronauts on the moon need to bring their own oxygen supply because there is no breathable atmosphere on the moon. Without a source of oxygen, they won't be able to breathe and survive on the lunar surface.
