How do they sleep inside space station?
How do what? sleep inside a space station? astronauts? i think um they just float. no i KNOW they float...
What causes astronauts to float?
Lack of gravity.
Why do we float on the moon?
You don't float, otherwise the astronauts would have just floated away instead of walking around. Gravity is less, so you can jump farther on the moon than on Earth, but you are still held down on the ground.
Why do astronauts appear to float when they walk on the Moon?
Sorry, but they don't.

How come astronauts can float around in space?
They are in free fall. That is, the ONLY force acting on them is gravity, and to them, that feels as if there were no gravity. Imagine the person next to a spacecraft - and both are orbiting Earth. The person accelerates towards Earth - but so does the spacecraft, and it does so at the same rate, so they stay close together, at least initially.
Why do astronauts appear to float inside their space stations?
This is because they are slightly away from the pull of the Earth's gravity - but not entirely. They, and the space station, are constantly falling towards the Earth, but everything keeps turning below them, preventing them from ever getting there. You can read more about this in the Web Links to the left.ANSWER:Its because they are weightless and really are floating. There is no gravity on the space station.*There is Gravity on the space station! This common misconception is shared by most people. The above response that says objects in Earth orbit are constantly 'falling' is true. Gravity is almost the same on the surface of the Earth as it is a few hundred kilometers up where satellites and the space station orbits.The reason why astronauts appear to float is that they, and the space station they inhabit, have such a large horizontal velocity with respect to the surface of the earth, the vertical velocity that comes from gravity pulling them back to the surface is strong enough just to 'bend' the resultant velocity's direction in a continually curving path that follows the curvature of the planet itself. The astronauts are constantly 'falling around' the planet.

Why do objects in orbiting space shuttle float?

When was Float railway station created?
Float railway station was created in 1856.
A friend says that astronauts in orbit are weightless because they're beyond the pull of earth's gravity correct your friend's ignorance?
Astronauts are weightless in space because there is no gravity in space. The lack of gravity is what allows them to float.
