Does the mass of an astronaut change when he or she is visiting the international space station?

The force of gravity decreases with the distance between bodies, but it is still about 90% of the sea level value in high Earth orbit. There zero gravity exists because of the "free fall" of the orbit. At some point several thousand miles from Earth, the attraction from the Earth or the Moon does become very small, creating virtual weightlessness.
Gravity is inversely proportional to the distance from the center of mass, which is why on the Earth's surface the effect of the Sun's gravity (which is much greater) is negligible compared to that of the Earth.

∙ 12y agoWell...
the weight of something is actually the gravitational force pull
the mass of something is the amount of matter present
I assume you're asking about the mass, and that wouldn't change
however, as the gravitational force would be less in space, so the weight would change
DON'T GET THEM CONFUSED!

∙ 9y agoThe 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 go from Delhi International Airport to Old Delhi Railway Station?
Do not Worry now you can easily reach Old Delhi Airport from International Airport Delhi. You can choose Airport Metro to New Delhi and then change at Rajeev Chowk Metro Station to Chandni Chowk Metro Station. Its will take only INR 70 and 25 minute . Metro is available from 5 AM to 23:50 PM If u have own convence then ok Otherwise many taxies r there.

An astronaut inside a small space ship orbiting around the earth cannot detect gravity.If the space station orbiting around the earth has a large size can he hope to detect gravity?
If the size of the space station is large enough, then the astronaut will detect the change in Earth's gravity (g).
Is there a train from the Birmingham international train station direct to Nottingham?
No, you'd need to change at Birmingham New Street.
What is an example of when weight would change and mass stays the same?
When you travel from the planet Earth to another place, such as the International Space Station or the moon, your mass would remain the same but your weight would change.
When an astronaut lands on the moon what is his mass?
His mass does not change, only his relative weight.
How does Gravity affect astronouts in space?
Gravity from objects such as the Earth, the Moon, the Sun, or the Milky Way will attract and accelerate an astronaut. "Accelerate" implies that the astronaut's velocity will change over time.If the astronaut is in free fall (basically, the spaceship's engine is not pushing the spacecraft), then the astronaut won't FEEL such gravity.
An astronaut on the moon has the same mass as she did on earth but has less?
mass doesnt change but weight does
How does the International Space Station change your view?
Well it doesn't really it just makes me think its what gets our T.V. But to some people it really does so i Don't think nothing of it xx
When an astronaut is propelled into space does his mass increase or decrease?
The mass of an astronaut in space does not change, except for the minor changes that occur due to change in exercise and eating. Mass is mass, and represents the amount of material in an object. His weight, however, does change, because weight is mass times the acceleration due to gravity, and gravity does indeed change.
