Will a corpse get decomposed if kept in moon?

There would be a small amount of decomposition from the bacteria that are naturally in the body, but the lack of the usual decomp microbes would mean that not much decomposition would happen.

Strange that so many people answer even though they don't really know. The math guy got it right. Of course, if the corpse were to have died up there and still be in his spacesuit, then you would have an all-together different--and quite stinky--outcome.

Yes, the decomposing process would still occur regardless of the place (withstanding any measures purposely taken to prevent decomposing - cryo freezing, etc.).

for the decomposition to take place we need oxygen where the carbohydrates is broken to carbon dioxide and water,but most important of all microbes are needed. microbes can survive ib harsh conditions but abut oxygen not sure. so there are chances . but even if it occurs then rate will be very slow.

decomposition takes place by bacterial microbes, and as of now, thre is no evidence for bacteria alive or dead on the moon, so to answeryour question, no bacteria = no decomposition

Get it out of the suit... See it blows... Instant decomposition

Yes, but that's only if the bacteria survives.

time to float away into space.. not enough gravity to hold the deadman there.

No! Their are no maggots on the moon

no it wont because there is no atmospheric condition.
