Is it true that astronauts in orbit are not truly weightless?
yes e2020 niggs
When traveling to space do astronauts travel away from Earth's orbit?
This depends on where the astronauts were headed to, If going to the moon, then no they do not leave earth's orbit. But if astronauts were to go to Mars, then yes. To go to other planets and to travel through space, Astronauts will leave Earth's orbit. When traveling to space from earth, Astronauts leave the atmosphere and will leave the orbit if necessary and if the travel distance is far enough.
Are astronauts really weightless in orbit why not?
because both the astronaut and the satellite is attracted towards the center of the earth
What is a sentence for weightlessness?
The weightless astronaut landed on Mars, which has no gravity.
Why do astronauts float weightlessly in space?
There is (apparent) zero gravity. The absolute gravity in orbit is about 90% of what it is on the surface of the earth, but the effective gravity is zero, and for a good reason.The fact is that in orbit, you are actually falling, but your forward speed is such that the curvature of the planet is dropping at the same rate that you are falling.And the astronauts are falling at the exact same speed as their capsule. This is called freefall.
Are astronauts really weightless in orbit?
No.
When astronauts float while in orbit because inertia and what are balanced in orbit?
Gravity
Are astronauts in orbit truly weightless?
no they can weigh more or less depending which planets orbit
Are astronauts really weightless while in orbit?
yes
Does gravity pull on astronauts while in orbit around earth?
Yes. Gravity is what keeps them in orbit. If it were not for gravity, those astronauts would continue out into space in a straight line.
Because of freefall astronauts appear this way in orbit?
weightless
How do astronauts get into space?
Astronauts launch from the earth atop a rocket or in a shuttle with at least enough thrust to achieve orbit.
Where do astronauts go today?
In recent years astronauts have gone to the International Space Station, which is in a low orbit around Earth.
What was the name of the first NASA mission which took astronauts into orbit?
Mercury
Is it true that astronauts in orbit are not truly weightless?
yes e2020 niggs
Where do astronauts go to when they are in space?
With the exception of those that went to the moon, they orbit the earth.
Why do astronauts in orbit feel weightlessness?
they are falling through space around earth
