Q&A

Could a moon or planet exist with "puddles" of breathable air in deep craters?

+0

Could a moon or planet with otherwise no atmosphere maintain gas pockets in sufficiently deep craters, and could it be habitable by humans without pressure or space suits?

I found this similar question Would oxygen pool in sink holes if the upper atmosphere was helium, hydrogen and methane? but it focusses on a planet with a full atmosphere, I want to know if it would be realistic for a planet without enough gas to maintain a breathable atmosphere beyond depressions to exist.
