If a bird managed to get on the moon...?

Question

of which gravity is 1/6 of earth's gravity, will it fly faster, as fast, or slower than on earth?

(I feel that it's an old one, but it's new for me anyways!)

Answer 1

It wouldn't fly at all.There's no atmosphere on the moon.

Answer 2

On the moon? NASA is testing flight of animals onboard the space station. In zero gravity, flys don't fly any faster. Infact they don't like to fly (although they still can) at all in zero gravity. To answer your question, the bird would still need air, but not even NASA knows, but if flys are any indication, then no. Birds might fly longer though, because they don't have to beat theri wings as often.

Answer 3

faster, if the bird is flying at top speed when it leaves the Earth's atmosphere wil will continue to move at the same speed until it reaches the moon where it will be pulled into the moon and continue to accelerate until it hits the moons surface. Astronauts avoid hiting the moon during landings by using their thrusters to slowly land

Answer 4

Faster, but no fast enough for us to catch it by flying! Boing!

Answer 5

It would just hover off the ground dead.

Answer 6

she would die of course
