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).


An astrounaut inside a small space ship orbiting around the earth cannot detect gravity.Can a space station of much bigger size than the space ship hope to detect gravity?

The chances are pretty low because it doesn't matter on the size to detect gravity.


Why are astronauts in a space ship wieghtless?

There is no gravity in space.


What is life like on a space ship?

fun cause theres no gravity!!!!!!!


Would there be gravity on a space ship in open space moving at high speeds and if so in what direction would it move?

No only when in earth's atmoshpere can the gravity be on.


In what ways do you think the lack of gravity facilitated the astronaut's work on the space ship?

kmh


Do you weigh less on earth than in a space ship orbiting 800 kilometers above earth?

No - more on Earth - in orbit you're weightless.


Are astronauts weight less in space?

Yes weight changes due to gravity and mass is constant in terms of gravity. There is less gravity in space than the earth so they would weigh less but their mass would be the same. They have less gravity pulling on them, so yes. Unless they have artificial gravity creators in or on the space ship that I don't know about.


Why does sand not float on the moon?

There is still gravity on the moon. We know that because, how else would the space ship be able to land? If something as heavy as a space ship can stay down, so can sand.


If gravity equals 1.6meter squared what is your mass?

Your mass doesn't depend on gravity. You have the same mass whether you're on earth, on the moon, or in a space ship on the way.

Is it possible to orbit a planet and anchor down a manned ship and be able to pull the ship and its cargo back to the orbiting ship?

No. With current technology that is impossible - no cable would be strong enough for that. For more information, search Wikipedia, or other sources, for "space elevator".
