There is no change to an objects status as matter in space. Matter continues to exist in the absence of air and weight. If this were not the case all matter in space (suns, planets, etc.) would all vanish.
Mass and weight are two different things. Mass is a measure of how much matter an object has, and that does not change when you change or eliminate gravity. Weight, on the other hand, is the force that an object creates due to its mass and the influence of gravity. If it takes a certain amount of force to accelerate an object, it will still take that certain amount of force to accelerate it the same way from the same reference point, no matter what the gravity.

∙ 10y agoNo! Weight is actually the gravitational force acting on an object and it's SI unit is Newton. While mass is the matter filled in an object and it's SI unit is Kilogram. So as space has very little or no gravitational force the weight there becomes very low while the mass remains the same.

∙ 14y agoNo, it has no weight because there is no gravity.

∙ 13y agoSpace, by itself, does not have mass nor weight. Of course, it may contain matter, which has mass, and may have weight if it is near some other mass.

How do weight and mass differ from each other?
Weight is how heavy something is and mass is how much space something takes up.
How do you identify mass?
something that has weight and takes up space
How does weight relate to gravity and mass?
weight is the force of gravity on an object, and mass is the volume o space it takes up, independent of the gravitational pull.
How are the mass and weight of an object related?
mass and weight are closely related because mass affects the weight of an object experiencing the effects of gravity. Weight is the measure of the force of gravity on an object's mass, while mass is the measure of how much matter there is in an object.
What 2 ways are weight and mass different?
Mass is the amount of matter an object has. Weight is actually a measure of the force of gravity on an object. An object normally has a constant mass, but weight varies with gravity. An object in space will have no weight, but still have the same mass.
What is the answer to mass?
Mass is anything that has weight and occupies space.
What would your mass be in space if you weighed 48kg?
Your mass in space would be the same as your mass on Earth, but your weight in space would be zero.
What is the meaning of Massed?
Mass is the amount of material in an object. Mass has weight, volume, takes up space, and is measurable.
How do mass and weight change according to where you are located in the solar system?
Mass is constant in normal space. Weight changes according to the proximity of mass.
How do weight and mass differ from each other?
Weight is how heavy something is and mass is how much space something takes up.
Is your weight bigger or smaller in space?
Your weight is much less in space due to the lack of gravity, and when your in space your weight is literally near-nothing. Your mass stays the same though.
Are weight and mass considered the same in outer space?
Absolutely not! Any body has the same mass anywhere. The weight of a body is the effect of gravity on the mass.
If an object has a mass of 75 kg what is it's weight?
Its weight depends on the force of gravity acting on the mass. In outer space, for example, its weight will be 0.
Does the mass of an astronaut change when she or he is visiting the International Space Station?
The mass of an astronaut does not change when she is visiting the International Space Station. Mass is a property that does not change, but the weight of a person does change in space.
How do you identify mass?
something that has weight and takes up space
What is mass and matter?
mass is known the weight but matter is anything that takes up space and has mass. mass is a property of matter.
Why does an austronaut ina satellite have no weight?
Weight is mass time gravity. If there is no gravity effect on someone in space, they are considered "weightless". They continue to have the same amount of mass whether they are in space or on Earth.
