Overall, what is the most direct consequence of having no atmosphere?

• A. Increased rainfall.
• B. More plant growth.
• C. Inability to breathe and exposure to space conditions.
• D. Higher atmospheric pressure.

Answer: (C)

Without air, there is no oxygen to breathe and no air pressure to support life. The most immediate result is that you would be unable to oxygenate your blood, leading to rapid loss of consciousness and death within a short time. You’d also be in a vacuum, exposing you to extreme conditions and radiation, but the direct, defining consequence is the inability to breathe and the loss of ambient air pressure.
