It is 0. The moon does not have an atmosphere and therefore there is no medium through which sound can propagate.

Is the escape velocity higher for the earth or the moon?

The mass of an object is the same wherever it may be. The weight of an object changes however. The weight of an object is the product of its mass times gravity. Gravity is greater on earth than it is on the moon, so an object will weigh more on earth.


When was Velocity of Sound created?

Velocity of Sound was created on 2002-10-08.


What is your terminal velocity on the moon?

'Terminal velocity' is completely a phenomenon of falling through air or water. Since there's none of either on the moon, there's no terminal velocity there. If you can start high enough, you can reach as high a velocity as you want to before you hit the surface with a silent 'splut'. ==================================== The same contributor confessed: Well, no, I guess that's not completely true. There's the concept of 'escape velocity'. On the moon, that's 2.38 kilometers per second ... the velocity required at launch from the moon to escape its gravity and not fall back. The way these things work, that's also how fast you'd be going when you hit the surface if you were dropped from infinity and fell all the way to the moon. So your velocity when you hit the surface is: Whatever velocity you were thrown down with, plus some gain due to the acceleration of gravity on the way down ... which is a maximum of 2.38 more kilometers per second if you were thrown at the moon from infinitely far away.


What is the moon's velocity around Earth?

The moon's average velocity around Earth is about 2,288 miles per hour.


What is the velocity of the moon as it orbits the Earth?

What is the escape velocity from the moon for a lunar landing module sitting on the Moon's surface?

The lunar escape velocity, regardless of what object is trying to escape, is about 2.38 km/s, or about 1.5 mi/s. (This is about 5324 mph, compared to about 25,000 mph on Earth.)

Can an explosion be heard on the surface of the moon?

Sound can travel in the solid rocks of the moon but sound can not travel on the surface of the moon because there is no air for the sound to travel in.


Why can sound not be heard directly on the surface of moon?

They can; the Apollo moon landing heard the sound of hammering, among other things. See link below.


Why would a baseball go higher if it were thrown from the surface of the Moon than if it were thrown with the same velocity from the surface of Earth?

because of 0 gravity


What are the holes called that cover the moon?

The holes on the moon's surface are called craters. They are formed by the impact of meteoroids, asteroids, or comets hitting the moon's surface. The size and depth of the craters can vary depending on the size and velocity of the impacting object.


The ratio of the radius of that of the moon is 10 .The ratio of g on the earth and on the moon is 6 then what is the ratio of the escape velocity from earth's surface to that from the moon's surface?

The escape velocity is given by √2gR Hence it's value Ve on the earth and Vm on the moon is Ve = √2ge.Re Vm = √2gm.Rm Therefore , their ratio = Ve/Vm = √ge.Re/√gm.Rm = √6 x 10 = √60 = 8 nearly

Can the astronauts talk on the surface of moon as on the earth?

Yes, astronauts can communicate with each other on the surface of the moon using radio communication devices in their space suits or spacecraft. The lack of atmosphere on the moon means that sound waves cannot travel, so they rely on technology for communication.
