If man decides to live on the Moon how will he produce gravity on it?

Question

ofcourse man cannot wear space suit all the time on moon.

Answer 1

No need to produce gravity on the moon as it already exists (1/6th g of Earth). I think the follow on to your question has gravity confused with usable atmosphere. The Apollo crewmembers lived in the pressurized LM without their suit and did just fine. The key to survival is atmopheric pressure and oxygen. The presence of gravity just makes things easier (than microgravity).

Answer 2

The Moon has 1/6th the gravity of Earth. As far as the other comments on living on the Moon the answer is that you would spend your time indoors. Most likely the first permanent base will be fabricated of empty fuel tanks and prefab housing that can be assembled on the surface. However, the second generation dwellings will likely be under the surface in tunnels. This is similar to research centers that we have on the North and South polar regions here on Earth. As others have said, when you go outside on the Moon you will need a full space suit with plenty of oxygen to breath. However, since you will be so lightweight you can skip across the surface in 20 foot leaps. Check out old NASA footage of the Apollo program lunar walks.

Answer 3

Better on Mars! Moon has a low gravity, 1/6 of Earth's gravity and no chances in getting an atmosphere. But if u really want to live on the moon at a normal gravity then u have to increase its mass (quite difficult). As for the space suits - the solution is giant artificial domes who could preserve the atmosphere and heat.

Answer 4

Do you mean gravity or atmosphere? As for gravity, well, we don't have a way to produce gravity at the time, nor do we know enough about gravity to conceive of some far off invention that may do the same. If you mean atmosphere, then maybe domes made out of some super hard substance to withstand small meteoric impact. Just a guess though.

Answer 5

By existing. I'm exerting a gravitational force on the moon right now. If I were over there living on a colony, the inverse-squared relationship would indicate that I'd exert an even larger force. I don't think the moon much cares, though.

Now if you wanted the Moon to have an Earth-like gravity, you could inject a sphere of neutronium or a quantum black hole into the core. Beware of the quantum black hole... if you're planning on using the moon for a few million years the hole might eat it. Nasty stuff.

Answer 6

The moon has already a gravity field.
The problem is the lack of air Without suit you could explode or at least your blood starts to boil, which kills you. You die anyway without oxygen.
On the moon you only can live in a closed volume from which the air cannot escape.

Answer 7

The only way to do this is by "spinning" whatever chambers he lives in to produce artificial gravity. This going to 6 flags and going into the room where they spin it fast and drop the floor out. Right now that's our only method of artificial gravity, sad isn't it.

Answer 8

The moon produces it's own gravity,just like your own body...tom science

Answer 9

the moon has gravity. it's just less than on Earth. i believe it's about 1/8th of the gravity on Earth. could be wrong about that number though.

Answer 10

It is not possible to create gravity on such a huge body such as the moon.However it is possible to create artificial gravity in the places he stays the most.Like his house on the moon.

Anyway he will have to carry his oxygen cylinder with him.So he will have to wear his suit.
