Not in the way you would light a fire on earth. Fire needs an oxydizer which it gets from oxygen in the air here. On the moon, fuels with a built in oxydizer will burn but fire that depends on getting oxygen from the air will not burn.

While you may be cold without a campfire up there, the good news is your space ship won't rust. :-)

It is impossible to fire on moon because oxygen doesn't exist on moon.Leave the moon,a fired candle will be lost if put on narrow jar that doesn't allow oxygen to enter.Therefore ,it impossible to fire on moon.
