One litre of earth sea level atmospheric air, if taken to the moon surface and released into a non elastic polyethylene bag as large as needed, would occupy what volume ? :confused:

How would you go about solving that?

Obviously he would go about solving by posting it as a question on this forum. Hint to externet: What google search terms might help you solve this problem?

7.7 x 10E13 litres; not considering temperature change :rolleyes:

nor considering the fact it'd be carried off by the solar winds and that the gas would dissipate on its own or that the pressure will be different within the volume.

Can solar winds carry off a polyethylene bag filled with air ?
