No, for several reasons:

  • A car engine needs oxygen to mix with the gasoline for it to ignite. There is no oxygen in space.
  • Even if you could rig up an oxygen supply (tanks) there would be no way of cooling the engine (radiators and air cooled engines need air to remove heat) and the engine would overheat and seize up.
  • Lubricants would evaporate and seals would dry out.

How long would it take to drive a car to the moon at 100kmhr?

It would take over 17 years to drive a car at 100 km/hr to the moon, assuming you could drive straight up into space. The moon is approximately 384,400 kilometers away from Earth, so it would be a very long journey by car.


Will a car work on moon?

No, there is no oxygen so the engine cannot burn anything. Ahem, not all cars are petrol driven. An electric car would function perfectly - the Lunar Rovers of the Apollo missions worked. However, you might have a problem re-charging the battery unless you ran it on solar power.


If a car weighs 860 kg and you launch into outer space then what would the mass be?

Weight does change when you increase distance from a source of gravity since the force felt is inversely proportional to the square of the distance, but mass by definition does not, it still has the same mass, sometimes called inertial mass - so even if the car were way out in space it would still have a mass of 860kg.


What is a space shuttle's MPG?

The space shuttle does not utilize traditional fuel sources like gasoline, so it does not have a miles per gallon (MPG) rating like a car would. Instead, the space shuttle uses a combination of solid rocket boosters and liquid fuel to reach orbit.


How long would it take to get to the moon in a car?

Well, that depends on how the car is travelling. If the car remains as is and isn't transported by anything else, then it takes forever, since cars can't fly or travel through space by themselves. If you loaded the car into a space shuttle though, you might be able to do it. Past missions to the moon have taken about three days... not because that is the fastest that you can get there, but because rockets and space vehicles need time to slow down and land and stuff, and humans can only stand a certain level of acceleration.

How does the car heater work when the engine is turned off?

When the engine is turned off, the car heater can still work by using the remaining heat stored in the engine and circulating it through the car's heating system. This allows the heater to continue providing warmth inside the car even when the engine is not running.
