Question

Could you use a straw to sip a drink on the moon?
(A) Yes. It would be no different than drinking with a straw on earth.
(B) No. Because there is no air on the moon and therefore, no air pressure to push the liquid up the straw.
(C) Yes and it is easier on the moon because the acceleration due to gravity on the moon is only 1/6 of that on the earth.
(D) No, because there is no gravity on the moon.​

Answer 2

The correct answer is option B: No. Because there is no air on the moon and therefore, no air pressure to push the liquid up the straw.

EXPLANATION:

• The reason that we are able to sip up a drink using a straw is the prevalence of air pressure on the surface of the drink.
• The air pressure in the straw is more in comparison to that of the air pressure outside the straw on the drink surface. Due to this reason the drink in the straw comes up when we take a sip.
• On the contrary, there is absence of air on the moon so, no air pressure would be present either.
