Most clocks work fine in space.

The mechanical manual-wind wristwatches worn by space-walking astronauts work just fine strapped to the outside of the wrist of the spacesuit, in the vacuum of space.

The atomic clock in each GPS satellite works just fine.

While we haven't bothered actually testing, it seems likely that pendulum and water clocks would not work in space, because of the lack of gravity.

Do forces work in space?

Yes, forces such as gravity still work in space. Objects in space are subject to gravitational forces from other objects, such as planets and stars. Additionally, forces can be generated by propulsion systems to move spacecraft and satellites in space.


How do you get the light to work on skyscan atomic clock model 38229-1?

To get the light to work on the Skyscan atomic clock model 38229-1, first ensure that the clock is plugged in and receiving power. If it has a battery backup, check that the batteries are properly installed and charged. Additionally, press the "Light" or "Backlight" button, usually located on the front or side of the clock, to activate the illumination. If the light still does not work, consult the user manual for troubleshooting or consider replacing the unit if it's defective.


Could you hear an alarm clock in space?

No,because in space there's no gravity and depending on how far you're from Earth you cannot hear any type of sounds. For example your alarm clock can ring and your neighbors are unable to hear it.People cannot hear an alarm clock from space not just people but other living things.


Does elastic work in space?

Yes, elastic properties still work in space as they are related to the material's ability to deform and return to its original shape. However, conditions like extreme temperatures and vacuum in space may impact the elasticity of materials.


Can an alarm clock be heard on the moon?

On the open surface of the moon - no. Sound needs air to travel through, and the moon hasn't got any. Had you brought one with you into your space ship / space station etc where there is air, it'll work just like on Earth.

Can I still buy a simple clock radio?

Yes of course you can still buy a simple clock radio, despite so much consumer demand for higher technological products. In fact, most producers of technology items still continue to produce a simple clock radio and understandably they are very inexpensive. It is nice that these companies still recognize that some people just want an alarm clock to wake them up every day to go to work.
