Is it possible to stuck a liquid using straw on moon? If yes then explain your answer.

Dear Student,
Answer to your question is given below:

No, it is not possible to suck a liquid using straw on moon. Because there is no atmospheric pressure on the moon. If you are to suck a liquid on the moon surface, nothing will happen since the normal depression, you normally make enables the liquid to get upward since the atmospheric pressure pushes on it. On the moon there is no air pressure, so straws don’t work. When you suck water up a straw, you are not really pulling it up the straw. You are just moving some of the air in your mouth out of the way, creating a slightly lower pressure. Since air is pressing down on the water in the cup, it’s forced up the straw until the pressure differential is equalized.

Regards,
