What happens after astronauts land back on earth. Do they have to go to a facility to readjust to gravity so they don't get the bends etc?

They would have spend some time readjusting to Earth and in many cases doing medical checks to see what condition they were in after their time in space.

What happens when a ball is thrown up on the moon?
Just like on earth, it comes down. Most astronauts entertained themselves by throwing things on the moon. They found out that things fly much further on the moon due to the lower gravity. However, the astronauts could not throw things as far because their suits were very constrictive.
What happens to the gravity on large and small planet?
Gravity depends largely on mass, the bigger the planet the greater the gravity should be
What happens to astronauts in space for a long period of time?
Their bones, heart, and muscles begin to waste away because they cannot strengthen themselves by working against Earth's gravity; if they return from over 8 months in space, their bones would instantly break. It's not a pretty picture.
What happens to your bones when you are weightless?
What happens to your bones when you are weightless, is that your bones will get weaker and weaker. That is why everyday, astronauts, have to spend two hours on a treadmill everyday of there space expedition.
What happens to bones in space?
In weightlessness people lose about 1 to 2 percent of bone mass each month. This loss is largely in the lower bones -- the lumbar vertebrae and the leg bones.
What happens to the muscle of astronauts who are in space of an extended period?
Astronauts' muscles atrophy in space due to the decreased work they do without Earth's gravity.
When was Gravity Happens created?
Gravity Happens was created on 2011-05-19.
When astronauts enter earth gravity how close are they?
Astronauts do not completely leave the earth's gravity, they only enter a state of free fall orbiting the earth causing weightlessness. The astronauts that went to the moon technically do not leave the earth's gravity, they simply get close enough that the moon's gravity has a stronger effect than that of the earth's gravity. The distance at which this happens is called the sphere of influence. The moon's sphere of influence is approximately 66 000 km, this would be about 315 000 km away. In the Sun earth system, the earth's sphere of influence is 925 000 km. Therefore if you are within 919 000 km of the earth's surface, it's gravity will be the primary gravitational force experienced. The only exception is if you come within 64 500 km of the moon's surface.
What happens to the muscles of astronaunts who are in space for an extended period?
they weaken Because there is no gravity in space muscles go unused. Because of the lack of use they weaken and even begin to deteriorate. Astronauts must exercise for hours daily in order to maintain there strength.

What happens to its gravity as the mass of an object increases?
the gravity increases
What happens when Astronauts run out of Oxygen?
They die and their heads get crushed from pressure.
What happens to gravity in vacuum?
Nothing. Gravity exists in vacuum as well.
What happens to gravity as the mass of an object increases?
it's gravity increases
What happens to astronauts's sweat when they do exercise?
there sweat starts to float in the space shuttle because once the astronauts are exercising in space they would start to sweat
What happens to astronauts bodies in space?
Their bodies would become very weak.
