How did water devolope in space?

Answer 1

Assuming you mean zero-gravity space: Inside a spaceship like the space shuttle, at normal air pressure, liquids will form gelatinous blobs that break apart into smaller blobs and clump together when they make contact, in a glorious dance based on inertia and momentum. There are some videos of this. (see related link for one) In a vacuum, outside the shuttle, water would instantly vaporize since there would be no pressure to maintain its liquid state. Water poured into space (outside of a spacecraft) would rapidly vaporize or boil away. In space, where there is no air, there is no air pressure. As air pressure drops, the temperature needed to boil water becomes lower. That's why water boils much faster on a mountaintop than it does at sea level. In space, because there is no air pressure, water boils away at an extremely low temperature.

Answer 2

Generally, the water would quickly evaporate into water vapor. If it were in the shadow of some other object (such as a spacecraft, or in a dark crater on the Moon) it would freeze and form ice crystals similar to snow.

Answer 3

Hmmm... That's actually a deceptively tough question. Good one though.

Water boils because enough heat is introduced to break the water into hydrogen and oxygen rapidly. That definitely could happen in space (not likely in outer space as it would be difficult to maintain a heat source) but the bubbles would not go up, they would just cause pressure to build in the container that was used to heat the water which would probably generate very very intense heat.

Might end badly for the astronauts, and it wouldn't look like traditional boiling water, but it would boil.

I must respectively disagree with the comment above. Yes, Water (or any fluid for that matter) will instantly boil very violently in space as there is no atmospheric pressure. Water boils at 100 degrees Celsius at 1 ATM (atmosphere) Because then it has enough energy to break past the atmospheric pressure (which is 760 mm-Hg) thus turning into a gas. Place water in a vacuum, and you can lower the boiling point to a room temperature, because in a vacuum the pressure is significantly lower. Thus less energy needed to break free. So as we know in space, there is no pressure and water requires no energy to overcome the pressure (as there is none) and will boil very rapidly, then as a gas will run into deposition, turning into millions of little ice crystals because of the low temperature.

Answer 4

You can pour it but where you pour it will determine what happens to it. Inside of a spaceship it will form particles that break apart into smaller particles which float and then clump together with other particles they come into contact with. If it is outside of the craft, it will instantly vaporize.

Answer 5

Water or, H2O did not just seemingly develope in space. Throughout Earths early evolutionary periods, large amounts of special chemical element's ions bonded, or fused together to form molecules of water thru a process called nuclear fussion. as vaporation occured larger molecules bonded together and would eventually fall as liquid water.

Answer 6

Water in space can form through various processes, such as the condensation of water vapor in cool regions of space or the combination of hydrogen and oxygen atoms. Ice found in comets and asteroids is a common source of water in space, and water has also been detected in the atmosphere of distant planets and moons.

Answer 7

nothing much but you should think more you will die of course in space, does it ring a bell
