If i put a plant into space...?

Question

what if we put like 1000000000 trees on the moon? would there be oxygen for us to breath? ahaha

Answer 1

no there would not the trees would freeze instantly there's not enough pressure either

Answer 2

no, they will simply die.

Answer 3

The moon has no atmosphere how would the trees survive in the first place. They need carbon dioxide. Solar wind would probably destroy the trees too. Now if you put them on mars they might have a chance considering the atmosphere is all carbon dioxide. Then again we would have to put dirt there because i doubt mars has the right nutrients.

Answer 4

What people haven't mentioned is that plants need OXYGEN. If there is no oxygen, how can a plant survive?

It is a common misconception that plants breathe carbon dioxide. No, they breath oxygen, just like animals, for respiration. They use carbon dioxide in photosynthesis.

Answer 5

The moon has no water.

The moon has no atmosphere (plants need carbon dioxide and nitrogen).

The moon's soil has no bacteria (which plants need to help them take up nutrients).

The moon's soil has no organic nutrients like potassium or nitrogen.

The moon's gravity is too small to hold onto any atmosphere.

So the answer is no.
