What is the name of an area in space that acts like a vacuum cleaner?

Blackhole


Does a vacuum cleaner work in space?

No. First of all it wouldn't stay on the ground. and why would you need to vacuum?A vacuum cleaner depends on a difference in air pressure to operate. With no air pressure in space, there could be no difference in air pressure and thus no operation.Inside a manned spacecraft, which is usually pressurized a vacuum cleaner will obviously work just fine; especially for collecting and disposing of water globules. Also the standard NASA space toilet uses a modification of a vacuum cleaner for urine collection.


Why is there so little gravity in space?

Because space doesn't have an atmosphere. I disagree, it is due to the fact that most of Space is a vacuum and gravity only works between masses ad a vacuum is not a mass so depending on how far you are from mass, there is either very little gravity or none.


Why is you weight less on the moon if your mass does not change?

Your weight is less on the moon b/c you have less gravity that pushes down on you in space--and in space there is no gravity,its a big vacuum and your mass is whats inside you.


Would you weigh anything on the moon?

Yes. The Moon has gravity, just much less than Earth. Measured on a scale, you would weigh about 1/6 as much on the Moon as you do on Earth. The reason that astronauts weigh almost nothing in orbit, or in outer space on the way to the Moon, has nothing to do with the vacuum of space (there is a practical vacuum on the Moon). In Earth orbit, they are in freefall around the planet, so have no weight. And in outer space, gravity decreases tremendously with distance. At about 2500 km (1500 miles) from Earth, the pull of Earth's gravity is only half as strong as it is on the surface.

How does a black hole act as a vacuum cleaner?

It technically doesn't, given that a vacuum cleaner works via air pressure differences, and space is mostly a vacuum already. What it does do, is by an enormous amount of mass focused in a small point, create a very strong gravity field, to the point that even light cannot escape a certain proximity. This is known as the 'event horizon'. Basically, nothing we know of that crosses that line can escape the gravity, drawn into the singularity at the center.


Could you give me a sentence for vacuum?

I seek the vacuum of space. Who'll vacuum the living room? That's a powerful vacuum cleaner.


What is the name of for an area in space where gravity is so strong it acts like a vacuum cleaner and sucks in energy and matter?

Any concentration of mass will "suck in" energy and matter, due to its gravity; for example, a star.A black hole - to which the description presumably applies - has the characteristic that nothing gets out again.


How do gravity waves travel through the vacuum of space?

Gravity waves travel as small distortions in space and time.

How does a satellites move in space when its vacuum?

well space is like a vacuum you cant escape it and sound wave do not travel in space but space isn't literally a vacuum so they move by rockets and the gravity of earth
