How can growing plants in space benefit us on earth?

There are no plants in space.

in space astronauts do experiments like growing plants and they fix satelites and they research things on computers.

Plants compete for growing space, nutrients and water. If they are very crowded, they can even compete for sunlight.

From space the Earth actually looks blue (due to the atmosphere and oceans, However Earth is also covered in growing green plants and there is therefore a huge amount of green tinge on Earth's continents so the "green planet" refers to this biotic presence on the surface.

The research done on the ISS (International Space Station) is conducted in space. It includes growing crystals for technological purposes. Studies performed on the Arecibo radio telescope regarding space are performed on Earth.

Some Bacteria fix nitrogen from the air and give it to plants, others degrade complex organic compound into inorganic elements which are taken by the plants; in return plants synthesize organic compounds used by bacteria for energy. Bacteria associated with plants to fix nitrogen and benefited by the plants for space and energy are called symbiotic bacteria.

The ones on earth, because there are no plants in outer space, and none on the moon that have been discovered yet.

In space astronauts conduct science experiments to see how weightlessness affects it, like growing plants. They also repair things, like satellites.

Trick question, space technology does not benefit society.

in space Answer: The universe exists within God, not merely vice-versa. God created space itself; before Creation He existed without benefit of what we call space.

The best way is using hydroponic techniques i.e. growing plants in water with nutrients mixed in it.

It is a laboratory in space. Earth has many of them orbiting it. The International Space Station (ISS) has several labs dedicated to research of space, the sun, plants and animals' reaction to space and new materials invented in zero g.

space travel denefits me =)

The temperature in space is -455F. Yes, that's negative 455 degrees Fahrehneit! Space is also a vacuum, with absolutely no atmosphere. There are no plants, known to humans, that can survive under these conditions. Astronauts have grown plants onboard spacecrafts, but these plants were grown with a simulated atmosphere, similar to the atmosphere on earth (temperature controlled, gases present, etc.)

Both, and the Earth also radiates energy back into space. Of the sunlight that hits the Earth, about 30% is reflected back into space by clouds, snow, or water. (Light that hits the Earth coming close to "straight down" is generally absorbed by water, but some of the light striking the water at an angle is reflected.) Of the light that is absorbed, a lot of it is used in a chemical process in plants… Read More

The mountains of the Andes range are very smooth and so growing plants was difficult except on mesas, so the Incas built the earth terraces to provide space so villagers could farm high on the mountains safe from the predators found in the lowlands.

I predict that other planets do not have oxygen because there are no plants on those planets. Plants on earth give us oxygen to breath. I am guessing that if there were as many plants on other planets as there are on earth there would be oxygen. I am open to hear other answers to the question.

Space is different from earth because space has no gravitation, earth has gravitation

no the earth would be desolate, there would be sea life, no plants , no anything. The water in space would just be ice.

Most? No. Only about 30% of the solar energy is directly reflected back into space. However, much of the HEAT energy, solar energy absorbed by the Earth and converted to heat, does radiate back into space. This heat balance is essential to keep the Earth from growing either too hot or too cold.

space satellites are in space and earth satellites are in earth.

There are spatial dimensions on Earth. So space is on Earth.!

Acording to my opinion nuclear waste should be thrown in space(i.e.outside the earth),so that no damage will get to human biengs or plants or animals living on earth as it is very harmful for human as well as plants or animals.

Earth is in space stoopid

The Earth Space with has because the plans..

Yes earth is in space

Carter Can - 2007 Growing Space Growing Family 1-12 was released on: USA: 20 December 2007

Yes There have been many plants grown in space stations in orbit around Earth. There is a difference, however. Gravitropism, the response of plants to gravity that encourages plants to push roots deep into the soil doesn't happen in space. Therefore the root structures end up being more like a sphere than having a deep tap root.

The four largest plants in space are Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune. Earth comes in fifth, Venus is sixth, Mars is seventh, and Mercury is eighth.

Mars is slightly preferable to a space colony or a dome on the Moon or Mercury, because it has water and carbon dioxide for growing plants. But it does not receive nearly as much sunlight as Mercury. The alternative would be a floating colony within Venus's atmosphere (sealed habitats with Earth-normal pressure would float in the dense atmosphere).

Not in outer space; but it does rain on Earth and Earth is in space so in a sense it does.

I assume you mean the Hubble Space Telescope. Such space telescopes benefit from the lack of an atmosphere: there is no atmospheric distortion, which otherwise severely limits the image quality. The lack of an atmosphere also lets such telescopes see in frequencies that don't get down to Earth at all, for example infrared and ultraviolet. There are OTHER space telescopes in orbit that use this benefit to observe x-rays.

You see the inside of your space capsule! If you can get to a window or do a space walk, outside you see the Earth growing smaller day by day and the moon growing larger, a totally black sky with stars as unblinking pinpoints of light. You can see more stars at once than are visible from any point on earth. The sun is very bright but still slightly yellowish. The planets shine steadier.

The earth is INSIDE space! Space is basically the sun, moon, planets are other bizarre stuff! As we know, earth is a planet and is part of space!

plants need space to grow or else they will get crowded and die

No plants or life of any description have yet been found in space.

Earth does have air while the space does not have air.

No, as Earth is in space and space has no gravity, its impossible.

it benefits everyone because we can learn more about space

through respiration process, not absorbing too much water, growing in an open space to easily take carbon dioxide

No space probes have visited earth as all space probes have originated on earth and therefore cannot 'visit' because earth is it's home.

The main purpose of the International Space Station (ISS) is for scientific research. Compounds mix differently in space than they do on earth. Here on earth, gravity forces heavier objects, including molecules, to sink below lighter ones. That does not happen in space since there is no gravity to pull the heavier elements down. That means we can create compounds in space that can not be combined here on earth. Another reason for the ISS… Read More

Go to google images and type: Earth from space.

The study of the earth is Geology the study of space is astronomy

Earth has gravity and space does not.

The moon is the closest object in space to Earth.

earth will run out of space tommorow i promise

It studies the earth and its neighbors in space.

They stay in something called a- 'Low Earth Orbit'. This is a space between earth and outer space. There isn't enough Gravity for them to be pulled to earth, and not enough to be pulled our to space so they stay orbiting arounf the Earth. In a Shuttle obvcourse.

The size it is way to big to be put together on earth and sent to space we do not have any way to get it to space.
