They digest exactly the same as you do on earth. The digestive system doesn't depend on gravity for its operation, everything is moved through it by muscle contractions.
What else can I help you with?
How was the zero gravity pen originally used in space?
The zero gravity pen was originally used in space so astronauts wouldn't have to find a pen for example if the zero gravity pen floats then the astronauts would be able to see where a pen is because if the pen did not float then if one of the astronauts needed to write something down they would have to write.
Will astronauts be able to survive in space without their specially made outfits if not why?
no because there is no air in space their is less gravity so need to wear special outfits
How did the first astronauts know there was no gravity on the moon?
The first astronauts knew there was less gravity on the moon because they experienced a sensation of weightlessness and were able to move more easily with less effort. They also conducted experiments with objects and saw that they fell more slowly than on Earth.
Explain gravity on earth in regards to different masses?
if their was no gravity on earth everything would be floating around in the air and us humans would have no physical control of ourselves. Why do you think astronauts are able to float around in mid in outer space because their is no gravity.
Was edible toothpaste used in space?
Yes. Astronauts in space use toothpaste that is edible. Because of the absence of gravity in space, being able to swallow toothpaste is much more convenient for astronauts than having to spit it out. For this reason, edible toothpaste is used.
How does astronauts go into space when there is gravity?
The massive speed and acceleration of the spaceship is so great, that they are able to escape Earth's gravitational pull. Then at around the correct altitute, they can orbit the Earth safely.
Can astronauts able to communicate in space?
Yes because of the transmitters and receivers that they have.
Why do space shuttle float on space?
A space shuttle is able to float because there is no gravity in space.
Do astronauts use salt and pepper in space?
they might be able to. that is not a very great question unless you are going into space
How do astronauts clean in space?
Astronauts are able to keep things clean fairly easily. The living space, bathroom, and eating space are kept separate from everything else. They are also wiped down with antiseptic wet wipes regularly because germs grow fast in space.
What kind of tests do astronauts take?
Astronauts have to do tests such as the comet, where they go on a short trip into space on a special plane, so they can get used to low gravity. They need to do alot of muscle workouts because they lose so much weight during space they could come back to earth and not be able to stand up because of the gravity
Can television waves travel in space?
Yes. That's how we are able to see live the astronauts and cosmonauts at work in the Space Station.
