To any astronaut what is an Eva?
Extra-vehicular activity, work done by an astronaut away from the Earth and outside of his or her spacecraft
Can you be an astronaut if you wear glasses?
maybe will float away
Will an astronaut be left behind when he steps out of his spaceship?
No. The reason why is, the astronaut and the spaceship are traveling at the same speed. The astronaut would have to careful though! Because, if the astronaut pushed away slightly from the spaceship as the astronaut stepped out, the astronaut would drift away from the spaceship and would continue to drift across space forever, provided the astronaut didn't bump into anything out there or get sucked in by the gravity field of a planet or a star. That's why when they do an EAV (Extravehicular Activity) they have to either be tethered to the spacecraft or have a MMU (Manned Maneuvering Unit). The MMU is kinda like a jet pack of sorts, it lets the astronaut fly around the spaceship with compressed jets of air.
What would happen if an astronaut's suit were black?
The astronaut would freeze because black is a good absorber and radiator. So, as it absorbs heat, it gives it away. The astronaut would loose a lot of heat very quickly.
How far has any spaceman gone in space?
No astronaut has gone further than the far side of the moon, when orbiting it. How far away it was at the time I don't know, but the maximum it ever is from Earth is 405,696 km.
What is a cosmanaut?
Its a Russian Federal Space Agency version of the astronaut - someone who travels away from the earth into space.
The radius of the earth is about 6370 km A 7420 N spacecraft travels away from earth What is the weight of the spacecraft at a height 6370 km above Earth's surface?

How do astronaut get in space?
Astronauts get in space by riding rockets that shoot them up and away from the Earth's gravitational pull.
Would you have less mass or less weight on the smaller moon?
The mass of the astronaut remains the same. However, the weight of the astronaut is less on the moon.
An astronaut travels away form Earth at 0.999c toward a sloar system that is 10 light years from Earth Asume that asrronauts's velocity is constant for a round-trip journey. What is the distance to it?
Trick question. The planet is 10 light years away; if you're going round trip, it's 20 light years. Everything else in the question is irrelevant.
What is a wave of energy that travels through earth away from an earthquake?
A seismic wave.
Do seismic wave get stronger or weaker as they move through the earth?
weaker as it travels away
Is the weight of a body constant at all places on the earth?
The weight of a person is not constant at all places on the Earth. The weight becomes zero at the center of the earth or far away from the Earth.
Does weight - force of gravity - decrease or increase as you move away from the earth by distance squared?
It decreases as you move away from Earth.
What happens to the weight of an object when it moves farther away from the centre of the earth?
the weight of an object grows more
Is the sun exactly in the path of earth?
No. The sun isn't anywhere near the path of earth. The earth travels a long, closed path around the sun, and is always about 93 million miles away from it.
