Is there ice in space?
Yes. Comets and many planetary rings (much of Saturn's rings, for instance) are made of ice. Because of virtually zero pressure, which allows for almost no temperature, most water in space is in the form of ice.
Can a plant survive in space?
No, the water contained within the plant's cells would most likely freeze instantly (killing the plant) since empty space is about 3 Kelvin (-270.15°C or -454.27°F).
Is there ice on Jupiter?
Yes. There is lots of ice in space. 93% of the material in the rings of Saturn is made of water ice. Also, comets are composed of ice and dust, with some rocks.
Are there space clouds?
no if there is not water in space there are no clouds in space because clouds consist of water
How did the water get on the moon?
There are a few possible explanations for the water on the moon. The most likely one is that the solar winds and the rocks and soil on the moon interacted. Since the wind is hydrogen, and the soil is oxygen, it creates water. Another possibility would be that comets containing water collided with the moon and left behind water.
Does water boil in outer space?
no it vaporizes
Do comets have water on it?
maybe ask the people in space
How can comets be made of ice if there is no water in outer space?
Because there is "loads" of water in space - just widely distributed.
What common space debris was credited with the formation of water on planet earth?
It is comets.
What are celestial comets?
Celestial comets is a more formal name for comets. Comets are objects in space orbiting the Sun with long orbits. They are thought to be made of frozen water. As they near the Sun they produce a long glowing tail trailing behind.
What makes water melt faster?
Water doesn't melt, it vaporizes and becomes a gas. The energy from heat melts or vaporizes all matter.
Where does boiling water go?
It vaporizes into the air.
Where is there water on comets?
no according to justin bieber there is no water in comets
When water vaporizes the molecules does what?
Becomes a gas (i.e. water vapor)
Why does water instantly freeze?
Water does not freeze instantly..
Do comets have water?
i dont no do they
How do comets catch fire?
Comets do not catch fire at all, since comets are generally regarded as "dirty snowballs" in space. Their light is caused by the interaction of water vapour and dust particles with the solar wind and no combustion is taking place.
