It's fairly simple. Build an air-tight container, and attach a vacuum pump to suck the air out. It's a fairly common thing to do, actually.
For a more elaborate vacuum chamber, build a second fairly large airtight container and connect the two together with a valve between them. Attach a vacuum pump (or several of them) and "evacuate" the air from the large chamber. Then, when you open the valve between them, the air in the smaller chamber will immediately be sucked out and into the larger chamber, creating an "instant" vacuum.

7. If the space colonists travel at 6000 kmh how long will it take them to get to the Moon from Earth when the Moon is at its farthest point from Earth Its nearest point to Earth?
The journey time depends on the route taken. Space colonists will not travel in a straight line from the earth to the moon: most space trips orbit the earth and use the earth's gravity to make use of the sling-shot action for acceleration. This saves on fuel and so the associated weight to be carried into space.
What sounds do Neptune make?
All the stars and the planets make no sound out there in vacuum. Any sound waves use a medium like air, water or any solid. A vacuum, like space, does not contain any particles; therefore sound waves have no medium through which to travel and thus sound will not travel or be heard.
What sound does the earth make while spinning?
The Earth is rotating on its axis as a single body, spinning in a vacuum. The atmosphere is pulled along with the rotation, so there are not any things moving at different speeds to make any kind of noise. However, the fact that the Earth rotates is a major factor in the creation of weather, and there are many noises associated with that, which many animals can hear, including us.
Why is the sun the only star that provides heat and light to earth?
There are exactly 3 ways to move heat energy from one place to another:ConductionConvectionRadiationThe first two require a material medium. There's no material medium betweenthe Sun and the Earth. So if any heat is going to get here, it'll have to make thetrip in the form of radiation.
How many planets away is the moon from the earth?
The moon is Earth's closest neighbor in space and the only natural object to orbit it. Counting it in "planets away from Earth" does not make any sense as the planets revolve around the sun, not Earth.
How can we make an artificial vacuum on earth?
Any space, from which we can suck out any air, forms a vacuum.
Why does paper fall faster on the moon?
Faster than on Earth? The reason it falls slowly on Earth is because of air resistance. You can also make it fall quickly on Earth if you make it fall within a vacuum chamber.
What are some of the conditions in outer space that make space travel difficult?
the vacuum of space
Can you make a vacuum in outer space?
No problem ! Outer space is already a vacuum ... full of it ! I used to read that space is a better vacuum than any vacuum that can be produced in a laboratory on earth. Maybe that's not true any more. Bu the fact remains: Space is a pretty good vacuum. Open a pickle jar in outer space, wait 30 seconds, shake it around a couple times, then screw the cover back on, tight. When you get back, you'll have a jar full of the best vacuum any of your friends have ever seen. (Hard to prove, though.)
What is Outerspace made of?
outer space is a vacuum and a vacuum is completely empty space. however all celestial bodies that exist in space(planets, stars, etc.) do not make up space
Do suction cups work inside a vacuum chamber?
I don't see any reason why it wouldn't.... all particles have different densities. unless rubber isn't dense enough to block the impossible zero density of outer-space. 0 is abstract not concrete. I would probably just make my suction cup out of metal and use a dyson vacuum to power it. lol <><><><> NO! A suction cup is held in place by the air OUTSIDE the cup pushing it against the surface. No air in space. No air, no push, no workee.
How far from earth is outer space in miles?
this question does not make sense. the earth is in space.......
How does NASA make freeze dried food?
NASA does not make freeze dried food, they buy it from contractors that make it to NASA specifications (like everything else NASA uses). Freeze dried foods are made by freezing the food, then placing it in a vacuum chamber. The vacuum causes the frozen water in the food to sublime (change directly from solid to vapor without melting). After all the water is removed the food is removed from the vacuum chamber.
If a cymbal were struck in space, how do you predict the waves of sound would travel?
Since space is a vacuum, sound waves do not travel through space. Sound waves need a substance to travel through, since there is nothing in a vacuum, sound waves have nothing to travel through. Thus, a cymbal struck in space would not make an audible sound.
Did god actually make earth?
no it was chemicals in space that made earth
How can make empty space?
First you need a vacuum pump with proper vacuum hoses; then you need some container which you can seal air tight, hook the vacuum hoses to, and it must be strong and rigged as to not collapse when a vacuum is pulled. Container will preferrablely have place to look into it for expierment, or be made of glass. Now turn vacuum pump on for an hour or so and you will have an ok vacuum/empty space.
When you run an air compressor in outer space will it work and will condensation form in the air tank?
It wont work because there is no compressor on earth powerful enough to overcome the vacuum of space. You'd un-compress the tank and make it crumple like a hot soda can in ice water.
