Electrolysis separates water molecules into hydrogen and oxygen.

This is a useful process on the moon because we can use water on the moon to supply a colony with a reliable local source of breathable oxygen and burnable hydrogen, rather than having to fly it all the way from earth.

Does the moon have anything that is or might be needed by the earth?

Probably one of the most useful resource on the moon would be titanium, of which there is a high abundance.


Which theory would be most supported if the moon had an irregular shape like an asteroid?

The theory that the moon was formed when a large asteroid collided with the Earth, causing debris to coalesce into the moon, would be most supported. This is known as the Giant Impact Hypothesis, which suggests that the moon's irregular shape would be a result of its violent formation process.


What would happen if the moon if it stoped being pulled by earth?

If, by some mysterious process, the gravitational forces between the Earth and moon suddenly disappeared, the moon would continue in the solar orbit in which it already is. But the present relatively small perturbations in that orbit caused by the Earth's presence would smooth out, and the moon's orbit would become truly elliptical, without the small wiggles.


What is the name of the moon phase when the moon is half way around the earth?

Imagine the earth being the center of a clock and the sun way off at 9:00. The moon travels around the earth in a counter-clockwise direction. If the moon was at 3:00, it would be a full moon. If the moon was at 12:00, it would be a half moon. If the moon was at 9:00 it would be a new moon. If the moon was at 6:00 it would be a half moon, then go back to 3:00 and a full moon again.


What would a person in the moon see when there is an eclipse of the moon?

During a lunar eclipse, a resident of the Moon would experience a solar eclipse; the Sun would be hidden behind the Earth.

Would you need an umbrella on the moon?

Seeing that there is no precipitation on the moon, the answer is no. ______________________________ However, it might be useful as a parasol at protecting you from the intense light of the Sun. :-)

Would a box of matches be useful on the moon?

No. Matches need air to burn and there is no oxygen on the moon. Remember, the men who landed on the moon wore moon suits because they carried their own oxygen.


What does the moon help with the day and night process?

The moon helps with the day in night process by holding the Earth's axis in a steady 23.5 degrees. If we didn't have the moon, then our days and nights, as well as seasons, would be completely random, and not to mention, unpredictable. Without the moon, our axis would be nonexistent, and we would have nothing to hold our planet in it's rotation.


What use is a life raft on the moon?

A life raft would not be useful on the moon as there is no water or large bodies of liquid to float on. The moon's surface is airless and its gravity is much weaker than Earth's, so a life raft would not function in that environment.


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.


Does the moon have any resources?

The Moon has a gas called Helium 3, which is useful for Nuclear Fusion.


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.
