Can you shoot a bullet in outer space?

Yes, a bullet can be shot in outer space because guns rely on internal mechanisms to fire bullets, rather than external oxygen or air. However, the bullet would travel indefinitely until acted upon by another force, as there is no atmosphere in space to slow it down or change its trajectory.


How far can sound travel in space between astonauts?

Sound waves require a medium to travel through to propagate from point A to point B. In space there is no such medium, so sound does not travel in space.


How fast would a .50 cal bullet Travel if Shot in Space?

The bullet will travel as fast as it would on earth (possibly a little faster, due to the lack of air resistance in the barrel). Once it left the barrel, it would continue with the same speed until slowed by gravity, or it entered a planetary atmosphere- or hit something.


Does the international space station travel faster than a bullet?

Yes, the International Space Station travels at an average speed of about 28,000 kilometers per hour (17,500 miles per hour) in orbit around Earth, while a bullet typically travels around 1,700-2,000 kilometers per hour (1,000-1,200 miles per hour). So, the International Space Station travels much faster than a bullet.


Is it possible to shoot a bullet into space from the ground on earth?

No, it is not possible to shoot a bullet into space from the ground on Earth. Bullets fired from firearms do not have enough velocity to escape Earth's gravity and reach space. Additionally, there are aerodynamic forces, air resistance, and other factors that would prevent a bullet from traveling to space.
