=There is no weight in space is because Weight is how hard things (floor, ground, etc.) push up on us. Note, I said up and not down. The downward force is the gravitational force. The gravitational force depends on mass (the amount of material you are made of) and the gravitational field intensity. If the gravitational field intensity is lower, as it is on the moon, the gravitational force is lower for the same mass. ecause there is no gravity.=

Are austronaughts really weightless in space?

Yes, but they do have the same mass. Weight is based off the effect of gravity pulling something down, because there is no gravity in space astronauts are weightless.


When in space are you weightless?

Not exactly. In space, u lose a % amount of weight.


Why are you weightless on other planets?

You are weihgtless in space because there less gravitiy up there


What is a persons weight in outer space if they weight 637 newtons?

Without the effects of gravity the person will be weightless.


can a weightless body have inertia?

Yes, a weightless body can still have inertia. Inertia is the resistance of an object to changes in its motion, and it is determined by the mass of an object rather than its weight. Even if a body has no weight due to being weightless in space, it will still have inertia based on its mass.


Why is it that on earth you appear weight while in space you appear weightless?

There is no gravity in space, so everything (even liquid) will appear to 'float'.


How is a my weight uses with graviyt?

Without gravity, you would be weightless, as in the vacuum of outer space. It is the gravity of the Earth that gives us our weight.


How can you determine when something is heavier than the other in space?

In space, the weight of an object is determined by its mass and the gravitational pull acting on it. The object with more mass will typically have more weight. However, in a microgravity environment, objects may appear to be weightless even if they have different masses.


Is it possible to be weightless anywhere in the universe?

yes ,in space because there is no gravity and that means there is not 15 pounds of weight on you


Why does an austronaut ina satellite have no weight?

Weight is mass time gravity. If there is no gravity effect on someone in space, they are considered "weightless". They continue to have the same amount of mass whether they are in space or on Earth.


What holds up the planets?

Planets are held in orbit around the Sun by the force of gravity. Gravity is the attractive force between two objects with mass, and the Sun's immense mass keeps the planets in their orbits.


Why you are weightless in the center of the earth but not in the middle of outer space?

In the center of the Earth, the gravitational forces from all directions cancel each other out, resulting in a net zero gravitational force, making you weightless. In outer space, there is no surrounding mass or gravity pulling on you, so there is no force acting on you to counteract your weight, leading to a sensation of weightlessness.
