because the earth has mass. Gravity is a the force of attraction that is related to the mass of an object. The greater the mass, the stronger the force of gravity.
No, the earth is in orbit around the sun. The earth is in "freefall" following a ballistic trajectory in response to the sun's gravity.
Yes, approximately. Because of higher velocity, astronauts age slightly less than their counterparts on earth, when they are in space, but only by a tiny amount.On the other hand, weightlessness and radiation contribute to bone loss and other ill health effects; so it might be said that even though time is slightly slowed-down for astronauts, they can suffer a deterioration of their health.
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
Earth has more gravity than Ceres does. Ceres gravity is 3% of that of Earth's.
The "surface gravity" is slightly less than on Earth.
Earth: Space: - is a planet - No gravity - supports life - Vaccum - gravity - No gravity or atmosphere - atmosphere
There is gravity in space. It intensifies as you approach a mass.
No, as Earth is in space and space has no gravity, its impossible.
If he is aboard something that's in Earth-orbit, like the International Space Station or the Space Shuttle, then Earth's gravity is what's keeping him in orbit.
At what altitude does the Earth's gravity no longer have an effect on the astronauts or the space shuttle?
the gravity moves the Earth in a circle
Gravity on earth lack of it in space
Yes, there is the force of gravity when the Space Shuttle is in space. The Earth's gravity is a force which continues throughout space, however diminishing as it travels further out (similar to the suns light traveling throughout space). A good example of the gravity's force in space would be the tool bag lost on a spacewalk which fell back to Earth. Also, the gravity in space seems much less due to the fact there is very little to no atmosphere weighing on the space craft (depending on altitude). On Earth atmosphere at sea level ways 14.7 pounds per square inch and gets lighter as you climb.
The atmosphere we breath is held round the earth's surface due to earth's gravity. Without this gravity, earth's atmosphere would disperse into space. Because our moon's gravity is weak, so there is no atmosphere on the moon.
gravity gravity
Well on earth everywhere this is gravity. but once you leave earth there is no more gravity ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- No, gravity is present through out all space. When you leave the Earth and go into orbit round it, it APPEARS that there is no gravity, but gravity is causing you to orbit the Earth. You do not feel this gravity because you are in free fall.
earth's shape is influenced by gravity because gravity will pull the objects in space together forming a sphere
