Question: Explain why (a) there is no atmosphere on moon (b) there is a fall in temperature with altitude Solution: (a) There is no atmosphere on the moon because the gravitational force is small and the Vrms is the greater on the moon such that the escape velocity of the molecule is greater than that of the air. Also, the distance between the moon and the sun is the same as the distance between the moon and the earth. Therefore, the rms speed of the molecule increases such that it can be more t...
