How was the zero gravity pen originally used in space?
The zero gravity pen was originally used in space so astronauts wouldn't have to find a pen for example if the zero gravity pen floats then the astronauts would be able to see where a pen is because if the pen did not float then if one of the astronauts needed to write something down they would have to write.
Where is the closest zero gravity place?
There is no "zero gravity" place. Gravity permeates all the universe. Astronauts in orbit are often said to be in zero gravity but they are, in reality, on a position where their orbital velocity balances the attraction of the Earth.
How do astronauts train for zero-gravity?
Using the Vomit Comet to experience moments of temporary weightlessness.
How long can astronauts survive in space?
No one knows, but typically astronauts do not stay in space for more than 1 year. Otherwise, the zero gravity will degrade their bones and muscles
What is the Effect of zero gravity on water?
Without any other influences (air current, pokey fingers) water forms a sphere in zero gravity. Most astronauts like to play with spheres of water (or juice or other liquids).
Can astronauts fly out of space?
Yes, astronauts can fly out here and there as they live in zero gravity in space.
Why does an astronauts float when he is in outer space?
Because there is zero gravity in space

Is scuba diving something astronauts do?
Yes and no. Astronauts under training in a pool with scuba equipment to simulate zero gravity.
Describe 2 potential health risks to astronauts travelling through interplanetary space?
one of them main problems is muscle reduction caused by lack of excersise in zero gravity
How do astronauts train for zero-gravity?
Using the Vomit Comet to experience moments of temporary weightlessness.
Why do astronauts float weightlessly in space?
There is (apparent) zero gravity. The absolute gravity in orbit is about 90% of what it is on the surface of the earth, but the effective gravity is zero, and for a good reason.The fact is that in orbit, you are actually falling, but your forward speed is such that the curvature of the planet is dropping at the same rate that you are falling.And the astronauts are falling at the exact same speed as their capsule. This is called freefall.
What are some problems for humans working in space?
zero gravity
What is microgravity as experienced by astronauts in orbit?
A very small amount of gravity. (As opposed to the macrogravity on earth). Often called zero-g, but there is not 0 gravity anywhere.
With no gravity can people breath?
Have you ever seen video of Space Shuttle astronauts during a space walk ? They are in zero gravity, but they are working and breathing just fine.
How long can astronauts survive in space?
No one knows, but typically astronauts do not stay in space for more than 1 year. Otherwise, the zero gravity will degrade their bones and muscles
