The ball would eventually stop as space is not a true vacuum - there are particles in space it’s just that they are very spaced out. But it would easily travel a great distance easily a couple hundred to a thousand light years before it stops although nobody is sure quite how far it would go. It would also matter which direction you threw it in. For instance if you threw the ball very precisely towards a planet, star, moon, black hole or other celestial body it would eventually end up in a stable orbit around it. If you threw it into an area that has a lot of space debris it will eventually wind up part of that space debris. Chances of the ball encountering another object in the interstellar medium are exceedingly low to say the least. But not impossible. It would most likely be attracted by a nearby gravity well first.

What happens if we throw a ball in space?
The ball will not be affected by drag. Only gravity will affect its trajectory.
What happens if you throw a football into space on a space walk?
If a football were thrown in space during a spacewalk, it would continue moving in a straight line at a constant velocity due to the lack of air resistance or gravitational forces to slow it down. In the vacuum of space, there is no atmosphere to affect its trajectory, so it would keep moving until it encounters another force or object.
Why do things in space stay in space?
Things that 'stay' in space are in orbit round something. This means that they are actually falling!For instance if you throw a ball up it will fall back down. Now throw it up and away from you, it will go up and then come down but its path is a curve. The harder/faster you throw it the longer that curve.If it were possible to remove the air from around Earth (which slows things down) and you could throw something fast enough, then the curve of its path would match the curve of the earth, when this happens the object you throw will orbit the Earth - it will stay up!On Earth (in its atmosphere) you can never get something into orbit because the air slows the thing you throw down, which is why you have to launch the object up outside the atmosphere (into space) to get it to orbit. The launch rocket first goes UP then tilts over to accelerate the space ship to go round the Earth fast enough for it to stay in space.The space ship stays in space BY FALLING but CONTINUOUSLY MISSING the earth as to falls due to its forward momentum.
What happens when an astronaut pretends to throw something in outer space and what happens to him?
In weightlessness, an astronaut that "pretends" to throw an object may find his or her arm's sudden movement causes their body to rotate in the same direction. If they actually threw a mass, the forces would cause the astronaut to travel in the opposite direction.
How much farther can you throw a ball on the moon compared to earth?
You can throw a ball much farther on the moon compared to Earth due to its weaker gravity, which is about one-sixth the strength of Earth's gravity. This means that objects on the moon experience less gravitational pull, allowing them to travel further when thrown.
What happens if we throw a ball in space?
The ball will not be affected by drag. Only gravity will affect its trajectory.
What happens if you throw a banana in outer space?
it just floats around
When you throw a ball what happens what tow forces?
When you throw a ball, two main forces are acting on it: the force of your throw propels the ball forward, while gravity pulls it downward towards the ground. The interaction of these two forces determines the ball's trajectory and how far it will travel.
When Could you become offside from a throw in?
You cannot be offside in a throw in unless the space time continum becomes corrupt and the throw in never existed. Or if the ball you are playing with is actually a chicken.
When you throw a ball what happens can you explain what two forces act on the ball?
When you throw a ball, two main forces act on it: the force of the throw propelling it forward, and the force of gravity pulling it downward. The throw provides the initial thrust while gravity causes the ball to follow a curved path back to the ground.
What happens in foosball when the ball cant be hit is there a certain word?
no i don't think so but when this happens you either tip the table, flick the ball or pick it up and throw it in the middle again
What happens after you double dribble?
If you double dribble in basketball , the other team gets the ball on the side and has to throw it in .
What happens when an outfielder runs into the wall and injures himself and can not get up to throw the ball back in?
The play continues and one of the other fielders will have to run over to where the ball is and retrieve it and throw it in to keep the base runners from advancing.
When you throw a ball what happens?
when the ball leave your hands it go into the air and foul back down and slow motions
You throw a ball and accidentally break a glass window Describe the relationship between the momentum of the ball and what happens to the window?
You throw a ball and accidentally break a glass window Describe the relationship between the momentum of the ball and what happens to the window?"It depends on the window and the size of the object you are throwing or using to break it.
What happens when you throw a rugby ball at a light?
Depending on the amount of protection said light has, and the ability of the person throwing the ball, at worst case scenario you get a smashed light and a punctured ball.
If a throw in goes straight out of play without touching another player what happens?
If that happens the team who inbounded the ball turns over the possession to the opposing team.
