Because blood is liquid, its boiling point is affected by pressure changes. Extremely low pressure would lower the boiling point enough that the blood would boil at a temperature less than body temperature.

Absolutely nothing. Blood pressure is the force of the blood on the walls of the veins and arteries in the body. That pressure remains constant whether on earth or in space.

What would happen if an astronaut took of his helmet in space?

If an astronaut took off his helmet in space, his body would explode from the lack of pressure in space before other problems would become noticeable.


What happens to muscle and bones in space?

the astronaut heart and muscles and bones shrink and get weaker ...this because: the earth's gravitational pull is strong so the heart pumps blood harder than it needs to in space so when a astronaut is in orbit it doesn't need to work so hard so they shrink. hope this helps.

Why an astronaut needs a pressurized space-suit all round his body?

The spacesuits are worn to mentain the pressure.


What would happen to an astronaut without a spacesuit?

They would quickly die of asphyxiation due to the lack of air and the astronauts blood would boil because there is very little pressure in space so this would lower the boiling point of your blood causing it to boil quicker at a lower temperature this would also contribute to killing the astronaut.


If an astronaut died in space in a crash of some kind and he was bleeding would his blood be blue or red?

the blood is always red . The red colour of the blood is caused by an iron compound hemoglobin. neither in earth nor in space hemoglobin could suddenly turn blue so the blood of the bleeding astronaut will always be red


Why astronaut weigh less when they come back to earth?

When astronauts are floating in space due to the weightlessness effect their hearts do not have to work as hard to circulate blood and not as much blood is required to maintain their blood pressure. To compensate for this their bodies expel excess fluids while they're up there.


Is an astronaut someone who works at a space station?

What happens when an astronaut pretends to throw something in outer space and what happens to him?

In weightlessness, an astronaut that "pretends" to throw an object may find his or her arm's sudden movement causes their body to rotate in the same direction. If they actually threw a mass, the forces would cause the astronaut to travel in the opposite direction.
