In space there is no fixed time like earth. As there is 24 hours sun not like earth with day and night.

Does the distance into space away from Earth affect how much slower time passes?

Yes, according to Einstein's theory of general relativity, time moves slower in stronger gravitational fields. As you move farther away from Earth into space, the gravitational field weakens, causing time to pass slightly faster compared to a point closer to Earth.


If you travel into space is the time taken to get to say another planet the same as the time on earth?

No, the time taken to travel to another planet in space would not be the same as the time experienced on Earth. Time dilation effects due to the speed of travel and gravitational forces would cause time to pass differently for astronauts in space compared to people on Earth. This means that time would appear to pass more slowly for travelers in space relative to those on Earth.


What is the main difference between the space shuttles and other space vehicles?

The main difference between space shuttles and other space vehicles is that space shuttles are reusable spacecraft that can carry astronauts and cargo to space and return to Earth like an airplane, while other space vehicles are usually one-time use rockets that are not designed to be reused. Space shuttles also have the ability to perform missions in space and return to Earth multiple times.


Will a pendulum work in outer space?

Yes, a pendulum will work in outer space because it relies on gravity to swing back and forth. However, the lack of air resistance in space may cause the pendulum to swing for a longer period of time compared to on Earth.


What is the difference between a space station and the space shuttle?

A Space Station monitors the Space Shuttle being launched into space and so forth. And a Space Shuttle, is like a rocket they send into space. So the difference is a space shuttle is a rocket, and a space station is a building.

Is space time the same as earth time?

Yes and no. On earth, there are time zones based on where you are located on earth. There are no time zones in space.

Why is time in Earth deifferent than in Outer Space?

According to the General Theory of Relativity, the nearness of masses (in this case, the mass of Earth) distorts both space and time. The difference is insignificant, though; it requires extremely precise measurements to detect a difference. When mass is more concentrated, as in a neutron star for example, the effect can be much larger.


What difference in time will be displayed by identical clocks at sea level on Earth and at the top of Mount Everest?

The clock at the top of Mount Everest will display a slightly faster time compared to the clock at sea level on Earth due to the effects of gravity and the Earth's rotation.

How much time do you lose on earth if you traveled to space and back?

hi there, can anyone help me and my feinds in this debate. i was explaining to my freinds that if an astronaut went to space for say 2yrs, more time would have passed on earth. if this is true , can anyone give us a reasonable example . mentioning the speed of the craft and the time difference .

At what speed, compared to the time kept on Earth, is there a physical slowing of time when you travel at near-light speeds?

When traveling at near-light speeds, time slows down compared to time on Earth. This phenomenon is known as time dilation.
