Can you light fire on moon?
Yes and No... Assuming one could travel to the moon on their own merit in the first place, there is no atmosphere and therefore no oxygen on the moon to help a fire burn in the open lunar environment. A fire could however be lit in an enclosed space on the moon (such as the spacecraft you got there in), but that's highly not recommended (if you wanted to return to earth that is).
