If I weigh 100 pounds on earth how much would I weigh on space?

In space, weight is determined by gravity, which is significantly weaker than on Earth. If you are in a microgravity environment, such as aboard the International Space Station, you would effectively weigh very little or feel weightless, even though your mass remains the same at 100 pounds. However, if you were far from any gravitational influence, your weight would approach zero.


What is bigger the moon or a space station?

The moon is significantly larger than a space station. The moon is a natural satellite that measures about 3,474 kilometers in diameter, whereas a space station, like the International Space Station, is much smaller, typically spanning around 100 meters in length.


Why are astronauts in space weightless?

Although the Earth's gravity has a lesser effect on an astronaut orbiting the Earth in a spaceship than on a person on the surface of the Earth, this is not the reason why an astronaut experiences weightlessness. The space shuttle, International Space Station and most other manned vehicles don't get that far from the Earth. The Earth's gravitational attraction at those altitudes is only about 11% less than it is at the Earth's surface. If you had a ladder that could reach as high as the shuttle's orbit, your weight would be 11% less at the top. Put another way, a person who weighs 100 pounds on the Earth's surface would weigh about 89 pounds at the top of the ladder.


What is at the edge of space?

At the edge of space lies the Kármán line, approximately 100 kilometers above Earth's surface, marking the boundary between Earth's atmosphere and outer space. Beyond this point, the atmosphere becomes extremely thin, and traditional aircraft can no longer operate effectively.


How far is the space station?

250 miles

How far is th space from earth?

When you go 100 km above in the sky you are in the space.


Which is greater 1 ton or 100 poinds?

One ton is greater than 100 pounds. Specifically, one ton is equal to 2,000 pounds, making it significantly heavier than 100 pounds. Therefore, 1 ton far exceeds 100 pounds in weight.


How far is it to space from earth?

By convention in the aerospace industry, Space is considered to be above an altitude of 100 km from Earth's surface.


How far is space?

According to NASA, space begins about 100 km above the surface of the earth, where the atmopshere is considered to be null.


Does thermite work in space?

Thermite has its own oxygen source so it can burn without an outer source of oxygen, including underwater and in the vacuum of space. However, I do doubt that thermite can burn in space, since space is quite cold. It would just depend in how far away from the Sun you are when you light the thermite.


How far towards the sun can a space ship go without burning up?

They won't burn up but they will first roast the people inside then melt the space ship and then boil it. Fire needs three things to exist(Heat, Fuel, Oxygen.) In space there is no oxygen. That's why it can burn.


What is North America's largest freshwater gamefish?

As far as true gamefish, the muskellunge, growing to 60 pounds. Catfish like the blue and flatheads can reach 100 pounds, and sturgeon to over 300 pounds, but these species are not typical gamefish.


Can a jet fly into outer space?

Pretty darn close, the SR71 can go out as far as the outer atmosphere.The limitation is that a jet engine needs oxygen to create the flame to get thrust from the engines, and there isn't any in outer space.Rocket engines are used to travel to outer space,and they carry their own oxygen for combustion, or use solid fuel that also creates its own oxygen.
