The reason object move around space is inertia. Take the moon and Earth for example, gravity makes the moon stay close to the Earth, and inertia makes the moon circle (or revolve, or orbit) around the Earth in a circular motion. the path it takes is called its orbit.

Do objects that move in space ever slow down?

No and yes. All objects in space move, but the gravity of the sun and the planets slow down a spacecraft or other object if they get too close.

Why can objects move through liquids but not solids?

Solids are rigid and have no intermolecular space between them. that's why.


Why do objects in space continue to move in a straight line at a constant speed?

Because there is no air in space, there is no friction to slow said object down.


What are gravitational waves?

According to Einstein's theory of general relativity, objects with mass "bend" space-time, which is part of how gravity works. (Space-time is basically the combination of space at time, using time as a kind of "fourth dimension".) When objects move around, they change the way the space-time is curved around them. In some cases, when an object accelerates, the result changes in the curvature of space-time propagate outwards at the speed of light. The propagation of the changes in the curvature of space-time is what is known as gravitational waves.
