When are astronauts in space weightless?
i like turtles
Are astronauts in a space shuttle weightless?
yes there are
Why do astronauts feel weightless in a space shuttle?
Because of gravity
When astronauts appear weightless it is actually because they are actually in what?
They are in the vacuum of space.
What causes astronauts to become weighless?
the absence of the gravitational force or field in space causes the astronauts to become weightless
Why do astronauts sleep upright?
They do not. Astronauts in space are effectively weightless, so for them, there is no up or down; the idea of "upright" has no meaning.
Are austronaughts really weightless in space?
Yes, but they do have the same mass. Weight is based off the effect of gravity pulling something down, because there is no gravity in space astronauts are weightless.
Do astronauts lose their memory when weightless?
No, astronauts do not lose their memory when they are weightless in space. However, some astronauts may experience temporary cognitive changes due to factors such as radiation exposure, sleep deprivation, or stress, which could affect their memory.
Are astronauts weightless in orbit?
As there is no gravity in space, everything will float........... Because They're in free fall ........
Why do the passengers on a high flying airplane not appear weightless similar to the astronauts on the space station?
Airplanes do not fly high enough to be unaffected by the force of gravity.
How do astronauts get skinny legs?
In microgravity of space, astronauts don't use their leg muscles as much, leading to muscle atrophy. This can result in skinny legs when they return to Earth. Regular exercise and physical therapy help astronauts regain muscle mass and strength.
Why are astronauts floating above the Earth in a Space Shuttle really no weightless?
Weight is an expression of the gravitational force acting on an object. When the space shuttle is in orbit around the Earth, it is held there by the Earth's gravity. Since gravity is still acting on the shuttle and the astronauts inside, they still have weight. They are described as "weightless" because an object in orbit is in a constant state of free fall.
