How does trash get in space?

Trash in space can come from a variety of sources, including abandoned satellites, spent rocket stages, and debris generated from collisions between objects already in orbit. Micrometeoroids and other small particles can also contribute to the accumulation of trash in space. Additionally, intentional or unintentional releases of materials during space missions can add to the amount of debris in orbit.


Does paper burn in space?

Yes, paper can burn in space, but it requires an external heat source and oxygen. In the vacuum of space, there is no oxygen to support combustion, so while paper can ignite if exposed to a flame or another heat source, it cannot burn spontaneously. In a controlled environment, such as a spacecraft where oxygen is present, paper can indeed catch fire and burn.


Where is the trash stored on the ISS?

Trash on the International Space Station (ISS) is stored in designated containers, often referred to as "trash bags" or "trash modules." These containers are filled with waste materials and are securely stowed to prevent them from floating around the station. When full, the containers are loaded onto cargo spacecraft, which then detach from the ISS and burn up upon re-entry into Earth's atmosphere, safely incinerating the waste.

Is throwing paper towels into the trash displacement?

No, throwing paper towels into the trash is not displacement. Displacement refers to the process of moving an object from one position to another, typically in terms of physical movement through space. In this case, tossing paper towels into the trash involves disposing of them rather than displacing them, as they are being placed in a new location (the trash) rather than being moved through space in a continuous manner.
