As there is less or no gravity in space astronauts take closed food packets with them to the space . These food packets provide vitamins and minerals for astronauts in space to live .


Why do astronauts weigh less on the Moon than on the Earth?

Astronauts weigh less on the Moon than on Earth because the Moon has less mass and gravity than Earth. The gravitational force on the Moon is about 1/6th that of Earth, so objects (including astronauts) weigh less on the Moon due to this weaker gravity.


How much living space do astronauts have in a rocket?

As there is less space , and three men share the craft the amount of space will be less.


Are astronauts weight less in space?

Yes weight changes due to gravity and mass is constant in terms of gravity. There is less gravity in space than the earth so they would weigh less but their mass would be the same. They have less gravity pulling on them, so yes. Unless they have artificial gravity creators in or on the space ship that I don't know about.


Are astronauts in orbit truly weightless?

no they can weigh more or less depending which planets orbit


How heavy were the space suits?

Apollo era suits weighed 245 pounds (or 40 pounds in lunar gravity). Suits used on current space shuttle and space station EVAs weigh 195 pounds but are effectively weighless on astronauts. Suits used by shuttle astronauts during ascent and reentry weigh 80 pounds. Suits used by the Russian Federal Space Agency for the soyuz program during ascent and reentry weigh 20 pounds. Suits used by the Chinese space program for EVAs weigh 260 pounds


How much would you weigh on the International Space Station?

On the International Space Station, you would experience microgravity, so your weight would be significantly less compared to Earth. Astronauts on the ISS feel weightless because they are falling towards Earth as fast as the station itself.


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.


Do astronauts require less or more sleep than normal when they are in space?

They sleep up to .5 to 2.5 hours less then they do on Earth then in space


Why do astronauts weigh Less on moon than they do on earth?

Because the moon's gravity is approximately 1/6th of that on Earth.
