Is your question "what do you weigh different objects on in space...", or "why would you attempt to weigh an object in space"...?

How much does the volume of the substance weigh?

Volume does not weigh. The two are different characteristics of objects and there is no relationship between them.


Why do objects of the same size weight different?

Objects of the same size can weigh differently due to variations in their density. Density is a measure of how much mass is in a given volume, so objects with different densities will weigh different amounts even if they have the same size. Additionally, the material composition and structure of the objects can also affect their weight.


How can astronomers tell how much objects in space weigh?

Weight is due to gravitational forces between two objects. A single object inspace without another one reasonably nearby, or even in gravitational free-falltoward another object, is weightless. So you can not weigh an object in space.Determining the mass of objects in space is another matter.


How does density change with different objects?

The density changes with different objects as all have different mass and volume(the space an object occupies) and the more compressed(Compact) the object is the more density it has.


How are the Distances between different objects in space measured?

Distances in space are measured using a variety of methods, such as parallax for nearby stars, radar for planets in our solar system, and redshift for galaxies and other objects in the universe. These measurements help astronomers understand the scale of the universe and the vast distances between objects in space.


Does a brick weigh the same on earth as it does in space?

Weight is a measure of gravity's pull against some object. No a brick will not weigh the same on earth as in space or on the moon. It will, however, have the same mass.also weight and mass IS DIFFERENT weight is a measure of gravity pull against objects mass basicly mean how many atoms


Do all objects weigh the same amount when placed in a vaccum regardless of their mass?

No. In a vacuum, the weight of an object will be the product their mass, times the gravity. In other words, objects with different masses will have different weights.


If objects are weightless in space why can't an astronaut push the space shuttle by the power of his own muscles?

weightless is just a figure of speech. things in space are just lighter than they are on earth. the space shuttle weighs 220,000pds so in space it might weigh 100,000pds.


Efficiency of packing of object of different shapes?

The efficiency of packing of objects relies on the shape of the objects. There are two factors to take into account: empty space between objects (which cannot be avoided due to the object shape) and empty space around the outside of the objects and the packing container.


Could someone lift heavy objects in space?

Your question is very nearly meaningless, because "in space" is not a well defined location and different locations and motions in space would have different properties. In freefall, which is what I suspect you meant, objects have no "weight" per se, but they still have inertia. It would therefore be possible to move objects you could not move on Earth, but it would not necessarily be easy, and if the object was already moving it could be difficult to stop it.


How much would you weigh in space?

You would weigh nothing. You still have mass, but mass is different than weight. Ever wonder why they say you are "weightless" in space? It's because of that: you would weigh nothing in space.
