Technically yes ... because there are atoms of hydrogen and specks of dust here and there ...
but for all practical purposes, drag is zero.
That's why, after all these millions and billions of years of plowing through whatever is there,
the earth has not yet lost its orbital energy and fallen into the sun.

What forces act on a space shuttle when it lands?
When a space shuttle lands, the main forces acting on it are gravitational force, aerodynamic drag, and the thrust from any retro rockets or thrusters being used. Additionally, the landing gear and brakes may also generate frictional forces as they slow down the shuttle.
Why is there no drag in space?
There is no drag in space because there is no atmosphere to create resistance against an object's movement. In space, objects can move freely without experiencing air resistance, which allows spacecraft to travel at high speeds and for objects to orbit planets without slowing down.
What happens if we throw a ball in space?
The ball will not be affected by drag. Only gravity will affect its trajectory.
How do space shuttles slow down when re entering earths atmoshpere?
Drag from air is the main thing that slows down the space shuttle on reentry.
What powers the space station to travel 17500 mph?
Simply put: inertia. Space is mostly empty, meaning drag is minimal once you get far enough outside of the atmosphere. By contrast down here on Earth, we have to deal with a very thick atmosphere pushing against us at all times. The space station is effectively coasting along, only needing to adjust its speed occasionally to account for the infinitesimal amount of drag from what little atmosphere is present at its 402KM to 424KM altitude. This drag adds up to around 2KM per month.
Can you fail a drag test smoking space?
no smoking space will not show up on any drug tests for sure ive been smoking it and i get tested once a week
What is the keyword for angry bird space?
drag the bird up:D
What is drag envelope?
The drag envelope is the space around a moving object that causes friction, pushing in the opposite direction of where the object is going.

When an object in free fall?
An object is in free fall when only gravity and air resistance (drag) are acting on it. In space, free fall excludes drag.
How did kaipana chawla die?
She got killed from the Columbia Space Shuttle disaster.
In space how can our satellites travel so fast and look so fragile but not be damaged by drag or wind?
Satellites orbit in the thermosphere or exosphere where there is no wind and drag is negligible.
How do you play drag racer v2?
in easy mode its space to change gears and up is gas
What happens if we throw a ball in space?
The ball will not be affected by drag. Only gravity will affect its trajectory.
What forces affect a spaceship in space?
Primarily gravity, but drag and solar pressure can affect it as well.
How do you colour the moon in the impossible test space?
Drag the word color onto the word moon
