In the ISS, fire takes on a spherical shape. Just like a sun. But outside, it would go out immediately without the fuel suns have.

Can a spaceship catch fire in space?

No, a spaceship cannot catch fire in space because fire requires oxygen to burn, and there is no oxygen in the vacuum of space. However, onboard systems and equipment such as electrical systems can still short circuit or overheat and cause fires, but these fires would not behave the same way as fires on Earth due to the lack of oxygen.


Can things burn in space?

Yes, things can burn in space, but the process is different than on Earth. Fire requires oxygen, and while space itself is a vacuum and lacks oxygen, combustion can occur in spacecraft or other environments where oxygen is present. In microgravity, flames behave differently, forming spherical shapes and burning more slowly due to the lack of buoyancy to draw in fresh oxygen.


How do you burn fire in outer space?

It is not possible to burn a fire in outer space because fire requires oxygen to burn, and in the vacuum of space where there is no oxygen, there can be no combustion. On space missions, fires are not ignited but rather prevented through strict safety protocols and the use of non-flammable materials.


Is fire in space blue?

Fire in space can appear blue because the lack of atmosphere means there are no particles to scatter the light. This allows the higher-energy blue light to be more visible. However, the color of the fire can vary depending on the composition of the fuel and the temperature at which it burns.
