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 a silk parachute be worth?
Most of the silk parachutes are worth a price ranging between $50 and $75. The price you can get will depend upon its condition and the age of the parachute.
What is a ripcord?
A ripcord is the part of a parachute pulled when the jumper is in the air to deploy the parachute canopy. (i.e., It opens the parachute when pulled)
Why burn a parachute while parachuting?
Indeed why? There are videos of examples where a parachutist has deliberately set fire to their parachute in flight, however this is part of a stunt. For 99.9999999% of skydivers, they do not set fire to their parachute as it is needed to save their life. For your information, all skydivers wear a reserve parachute for use in the case of a malfunction of the main parachute.
How many Fallschrimjaeger defended Monte Cassino?
1st Parachute Division helped defend Monte Cassino. at a guess between 10 000 - 15 000 Made up of 1st Parachute Rifle Regiment 3rd Parachute Rifle Regiment 4th Parachute Rifle Regiment 1st Parachute Artillery Regiment 2 battalions 1st Parachute Anti-Tank Battalion 1st Parachute Engineer Battalion 1st Parachute Machine-gun Battalion I would not expect a parachute division to be that large. Quoting from Carle d'Este, he said the 1st Parachute Division was not full strength. Then later, after the bombing of Monte Cassino, he states: "The defenders of all three levels of the Cassino defenses were Heidrich's tough paratroopers, whose tenacity was unsurpassed inthe war. WHen the New Zealanders entered the ruins of Cassino town ..... .... Some 160 of the 300 paratroopers defending Cassino were crushed to death beneath tons of rubble." "Estimated that it had taken more than 3 tons of bombs for each German paratrooper killed during the battle." He quoted General Von Vietinghoff as saying, "No troops but the 1st Parachute Division could have held Cassino." His book also says that the troops of the 1st Parachute Division occupied the bombed out Abbey. Reference : "Fatal Decision" by Carlo d'Este. In General von Senger's book, he said that the town area of Cassino was under Colonel Heilman's 3rd Parachute Rifle Regiment. Reference: "Neither Hope nor Fear" by General Frido von Senger und Etterlin. BTW, the 4th Parachute Division was also in Italy but at this time it was attacking at Anzio. Later, the 1st and 4th Parachute Divisions were joined in with the I Parachute Corps.
Did the Atomic bomb at Hiroshima drop by parachute?
No parachute, it was a barometric fuse. The parachute spotted by some survivors on the ground was a live telemetry sensor package dropped by the lead aircraft. The actual bomb itself Little Boy had a box shaped fin which acted like an air brake loosely termed the "California Parachute" but it was not a real parachute: rather an air brake to reduce terminal velocity.
Why a parachute would not be useful in landing on the moon?
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 leadActually 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.
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.
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.
Would a Parachute work on the moon?
A parachute works on Earth by effectively 'trapping air' inside of it, creating a large surface area and so a large amount of wind resistance or friction. As there is no atmosphere on the moon, there is no air to be trapped and therefore no friction. So no, a parachute would not work on the moon.A parachute works using air resistence. There is no air on the moon. Therefore a parachute would only pull you down faster. If ur planning on going to the moon i suggest you try a jetpack.
What will happen if we jump with the help of parachute on the moon's surface?
There is no atmosphere on the moon. The parachute will not open. [The good news is: at one-sixth (1/6) the gravity, you will only hit with one-sixth the force.]
How do you live on the moon?
To live on the moon you would need allot of air in a spacesuits. You would need construction to build a house. You would also need food and water. You would need to keep warm. You would need things to do and some company. this is how you would live on the moon.
Why didn't they use a parachute while landing on the moon?
There's no air
Why a parachute for a dog would not need to be as big like man?
Because a dog does not weight as much.
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.
How would a parachute open on mars?
A parachute would open ABOVE Mars, just as it would above our planet
