How does weightlessness occur in a space shuttle that is orbiting earth?
Weightlessness is a measure of how much resistance there is between an object and the local gravity. If you are standing on the ground, then there is 100% resistance between you and the pull of gravity. Your weight is equal to the pull of gravity on your mass. When you jump off a tall object, you are falling. You feel weightless because there is no resistance between you and the pull of gravity. When you are in a shuttle orbiting the Earth, both you and the Shuttle are falling in such a way that you never hit the ground. This is called an orbit. You feel weightless because you are falling. You just never hit the bottom like you would on Earth.
How would you feel in a space shuttle in outer space?
Being in a space shuttle in outer space would likely feel both exhilarating and awe-inspiring. The feeling of weightlessness and looking out at the vastness of space would be overwhelming yet incredibly exciting. It could also induce a sense of vulnerability and isolation due to being so far from Earth.
Would you be heavier or lighter in space?
You would be lighter in space because weight is the result of gravity pulling on your mass. In the absence of gravity in space, you would not experience the same force pulling you down, making you feel weightless.
Describe the conditions under which astronauts train weightness in space?
I'm uncertain what the question means. Astronauts do not normally 'train' while in space. They train in preparation for space. Assuming that is what the question means: There are two ways astronauts train for weightlessness. Neither is satisfactory. * They train it a place called the WIF or Water Immersion Facility. You can think of this as a swimming pool where the astronauts and the equipment they handle are made neutrally buoyant. That is, heavy or light material is attached so they neither float nor sink in water, but remain suspended in the water. The resistance of the water on movement and the fact that your internal organs still feel the pull of gravity limit it's value for simulating weightlessness in space. * They ride on an airplane that makes zero-g parabolic flights (visit link below). The airplane (called variously, the Vomit Comet, the Weightless Wonder, etc.) climes to a peak then allows itself to fall for about 30 seconds. When you are falling you are weightless, so this accurately simulates the weightlessness of space. But, but the short periods and the high forces when the plane pulls out of the fall make it of limited value for training.
Is weightlessness the same as zero gravity?
There is no such thing as zero gravity. The reach of gravity is infinite - you are even affected by the smallest rock in the farthest galaxy by 0.0000000000000000000000001 newtons. Weightlessness is a feeling: generally when you are in free-fall because you are in geosynchronous orbit, you are always falling just back into the loop. Astronauts in space feel the reduction in gravity and if they are not in orbit would feel differing pulls from different directions when they move to different locations. Between the Earth and the Moon there is a point called the Lagrange point: it's the distance from both the Earth and the Moon that their pulls are equal. At this point you would 'float' forever, at least until another body comes near and adds it's gravity to the mix. Astrology could have a possible affect on you but it doesn't take into account all objects in the Universe and thereby is a stab in the dark. The location and pulls of gravity from different objects could make you feel better or worse but we don't have the tools to measure this.
What do you feel in space?
-- weightlessness -- isolation -- disorientation -- nausea
Why do astronauts in orbit feel weightlessness?
they are falling through space around earth
What does it mean if you experience weightlessness?
Experiencing weightlessness means feeling like there is no gravitational force acting on your body, causing you to float or feel light as if you are in space.
Distinguish between apparent weightlessness and true weightlessness?
Apparent weightlessness occurs when an object is in free fall, making it feel weightless due to the absence of support forces. True weightlessness occurs when an object is at a point in space where the gravitational pull is negligible, resulting in a complete absence of gravitational forces acting on the object.
What is an astronauts weight in space?
An astronaut's weight in space is effectively zero due to the condition known as microgravity. While their mass remains the same, the sensation of weightlessness occurs because both the astronaut and the spacecraft are in free fall towards Earth, creating the illusion of weightlessness. This means astronauts experience a state where they float rather than feel their weight, despite the presence of gravity still acting on them.

How would it feel like if you were floating freely in space?
The feeling of weightlessness is similar to the feeling you have when floating in a swimming pool. Buoyancy is a pretty good simulation of weightlessness. Although there is NO friction in space so you would be either dead from explosive decompression or (if you were wearing a space-suit) you would bee throwing up in your helmet from rapid spinning.

How is weightlessness different from swimming?
Weightlessness means having little or no weight; not experiencing the effects of gravity. The difference between weightlessness and swimming is that during swimming you feel your weight less but you still have weight, you are still being subject to the same amount of gravity. Your weight and gravity are what is keeping you in the water.
When i feel hot and sticky you are feeling an air condition called?
