What gonna happen to beer on the moon?


Let's assume that we have bottle of beer on the Moon. What would happen to it in sunlight? Some cases:




  1. Beer can be dark or lager.





  2. It can be contained in glass bottle (transparent or dark) or aluminium can.




Will it freeze or vaporize or what?



Answer



According to NASA, the temperature on the Moon in direct sunshine can reach 400K and this is above the boiling point of beer. So the beer will boil and possibly burst it's container depending on how strong the container is.


The same article tells us the the temperature falls to only 100K at night, so at night the beer would freeze.


The colour of the beer and/or the bottle may change the rate at which it boils or freezes because a dark beer and/or bottle will absorb more sunlight. However the end result will be the same.
