--low gravity/minimal atmosphere life probabilities--

 
the concept--  

   i feel it might be possible, for life forms to exist, on a planet, or moon, that has both low gravity, and minimal atmosphere...in the case of our moon, or other moons, this could be possible, if the lifeforms were located near the line between the dark, and light side...due to the correct heat range being present, for life to be created, right on the line, between light and dark( creating the correct temp, in a small range)...therefore, i suggest, that the "thermal difference", and changes in temp, created by the changing angle of the moon, to the sun, might create small amounts of condensate( water), that are pulled out of the surface of the planet, or the ultra-thin atmosphere, a few inches from the surface--


summary--

    lastly, i believe that by using "distance to geo-sync" math( see "distance to geo-sync" post), the potential range of the atmosphere( height above the surface), could be derived, by knowing the weight of the moon...

 clue--

   if you calc the moon's distance in feet, from the planet it orbits, you then know the weight( in pounds), of the orbiting moon( see "distance to geo-sync" post)...

best wishes, john kruschke--
