Does a burp float up or down?

Both... or neither, whichever way you want to look at it.

Burps consist mostly of carbon dioxide which is no heavier or lighter than air as it is part of the air (only 0.03% but it is there nonetheless!). The next most likely candidate for burp gas is air itself that has been (deliberately or inadvertently) swallowed. Due to the 'neutral' weight of a burp it will simply dissipate and move around quite literally wherever the wind takes them.

Hope this helped!

Can astronaut burp in space?

Yes, an astronaut can burp in space, however, it may not be the best idea.On Earth gravity will separate the liquids and solids in your stomach from the gases. The bubbles will float up to the top of your stomach so if you burp most often you'll simply expel air.In orbit the microgravity environment makes concepts like "up" and "down" entirely ambiguous. So liquids and gases don't separate neatly. Burping in this environment carries the chance of losing a tiny bit of your lunch in the process.
