What else can I help you with?
What would happen to the International Space Station if it were not moving sideways?
Earth's Gravity would pull it straight down to earths surface.
Can you do pull ups in space?
No, pull-ups cannot be performed in the traditional sense in space because there is no gravity to pull against. Astronauts on the International Space Station use specially designed resistive exercise equipment to maintain muscle and bone strength in microgravity environments.
How does the space station stay in space?
As you may know already there is not much gravity in space maybe Evan none. So in order for something as large as the space station it stays in space by the gravitational pull form Earth I guess?
What would happen if the space station stop moving sideways?
If the space station were to stop moving sideways, it would continue to orbit Earth due to the pull of gravity. However, without the horizontal velocity, it would fall back towards Earth rather than staying in a stable orbit. This would pose a significant danger to the crew and the station itself.
Does the international space station float?
We often use the casual term "floating in space", but that doesn't really describe what happens. When something floats, we think of an object of a certain density resting on the surface of a liquid with a high enough specific gravity to support the object. Think of a solid rubber ball floating in the water. The space station is above earth's atmosphere (perhaps there is an incredibly thin whisp of atmosphere that high, but if so it is negligible), and it remains in place by way of its stable orbit around the earth. It is definitely not supported in any way by any atmosphere with a different density or specific gravity. It is the gravity of earth, along with the velocity of the station and the specifics of its orbit that cause it to remain in safe orbit.

How does gravity affect the space station?
The International space station is constantly falling towards Earth under the pull of Earth's gravity (Just like any other object - gravity does not stop when you reach space!). However the Station is moving very fast horizontally and, as the Earth is a sphere, this means that as it falls its path takes it round the Earth in a circle - it is in "orbit". This means that if you are in the space station you are falling as fast as gravity can pull you and therefore you do not feel the pull of gravity, making you weightless.
What is the source of the centripetal force that keeps the International Space Station in orbit around the earth?
The centripetal force that keeps the International Space Station in orbit around the Earth is due to the gravitational pull between the Earth and the space station. This gravitational force causes the space station to constantly fall towards Earth, but its tangential velocity keeps it moving sideways, resulting in a stable orbit.
Do astronauts in a space station weight anything?
They don't even weight a pound in space because there is no gravity pull in outerspace

What does the gravitational pull of the earth keep around it?
The moon, satellites, international space station, and everything else orbiting the earth.

Will gravity pull you down when your in space?
yes m8
How did Gravity Assist help the voyager space probe navigate the solar system?
By the gravity pull
Do you float in space?
No, you do not float in space. In space, there is no gravity to pull you down, so you would float freely.
