What will happen to the corpse of a chicken if left in moon? Will it get decomposed there in moon?:shrug:

Then what will happen to the dead corpse of chicken say we go to see it after 200 yrs?
Colonel Sanders would use it in his Kentucky Fried Chicken Restaurants.

No, it wouldn't. Decomposition is caused by certain types of bacteria that require 3 things: Proper temperature, a fairly neutral pH, and available water. Take away one of these things and the bacteria can't reproduce. This is why we freeze, pickle, or dehydrate food to prolong it's shelf life.
The chicken would quickly dehydrate, as the boiling point of water is very low in a vacuum. Plus, the temperatures on the moon are pretty extreme, depending on whether you're in the sun or shade. The bacteria that cause decomposition could never survive.
skaught, The question in this thread of mine is asked in a sane & positive mind but what u have posted is having no use to this thread & is useless to this thread (mods pls note). If U have any positive comment concerning this thread & its questions then u r most welcome to it otherwise pls restrict urself regarding posting to this thread.

I think it will become a frozen chicken, especially if it is on the dark side of the Moon.What will happen to the corpse of a chicken if left in moon? Will it get decomposed there in moon?:shrug:

MacGyver thanx for participating in a positive manner.U said the chicken would quickly dehydrate. Suppose 100ml of water from the chicken's body is getting dehyrated. Now suppose I keep 10^(15) chicken corpses in the moon so then it would be total 10^(17)ml of water getting dehydrated from the chicken corpses. now there are two questions of mine
1)where will such a huge amt of water will go in moon from the dead corpses of chickens?
2)what will happen to the mass of those 10^(15) corpses of chicken say after 200 yrs if we go to see those corpses after 200 yrs?
The same questions are for U also Emil because there is also side of moon which has light.
wellwisher, thanx for replying positively & shading some light to this scientific question.

Can u shade some light on the above asked questions. Scientific approach & explanation will be appreciated.

As a matter of fact, it's all dark.There is no dark side of the moon. Source: Pink Floyd (among others)
I like this thread because it question is silly yet interesting at the same time. Yes, water would come off very quickly, assuming it was not dehydrate before exposure to vacuum you might end up with the chicken bursting or even exploding. Radiation would eventually destroy all the organics and free oxygen in the moons virtually non-existent atmosphere would also help, but all that would take eons. High temperatures on the moon could be far more destructive then radiation or atomic oxygen: max day time temperatures are around 120C but increase the albedo (say a black chicken) and carbonization could start to occur
