Question

Let us assume that you are on the moon. If you try to focuss sun light on a paper using magnifying glass, does the paper catch fire ? Why ?

Answer 1

Explanation:

no it doesn't catch the fire because there is no atmosphere on moon

as well as fire needs three things like heat,fuel and air which is called fire triangle

Answer 2

Explanation:

If you are on the moon and try to focus sunlight on a paper with the usage of the magnifying glass, the paper will not catch fire because there is carbon present in the paper.

There are three elements required for the fire to burn which are oxygen, carbon, and heat. Thus if anyone of the element is missing, the fire can not lit up. In this case heat and carbon, both are present but oxygen is not present on the moon, thus so it cannot catch fire.
