What else can I help you with?
Are astronauts on the moon weightless?
No, astronauts on the moon are not weightless. They have weight due to the moon's gravitational pull, which is about 1/6th of Earth's gravity. This means they experience a lesser force of gravity compared to Earth, allowing them to move more easily on the lunar surface.
Where can you go in a zero gravity chamber?
There is no such thing as a zero gravity chamber. The only way to experience weightlessness is in freefall. There are planes that you can board which will go into dives up to 30 seconds long. During these dives the planes are in freefall. Since you are falling at the same rate as the plane is, you will seem to float around the cabin and will feel weightless. It is the same reason that astronauts in orbit are weightless.
Why do astronauts float around in the shuttle instead of falling?
They are falling ! As you see them on TV floating around in the shuttle (or outside it), they are falling towards the earth. So is the shuttle, at exactly the same acceleration, which is why they seem to hover in mid-air; they are moving exactly in time with the shuttle. In fact, shuttle and astronauts are both moving; pretty fast, too, around 18,000 mph. And that is the big secret as to why they don't crash to earth. They are falling towards the earth's surface, but the surface of the earth is curved. Because they are travelling around the earth, it's surface is receding from them, and it just happens to be moving away at the same rate as the shuttle (and contents) are falling towards it. This is called an orbit, and it doesn't really "just happen"; the engineers who program the launch vehicle take some trouble to get the final velocity just right to achieve the orbit that they want.
Why do astronauts feel heavier during launch?
Astronauts feel heavier during launch because of the upward motion of the spacecraft. This has the effect of adding extra "g's," or gravity forces, making everything seem heavier while the thrust is occurring.
What is the path of a planet or a satellite called?
A satellite is a body in orbit around another lager body. A probe is a machine sent to a specific place or specific course in space. Comment: That doesn't seem to answer the question. The curved path that a satellite follows is either a circle or an ellipse

Why do astronauts feel weightless while in orbit?
Astronauts in orbit are weightless, but not because they are beyond the pull of earth's gravity. If the moon, roughly 240,000 miles away, is within the influence of earth's gravity, so is an astronaut just a few miles up in comparison. Astronauts are weightless because they are in orbit, and being in orbit can be thought of very roughly as a special kind of freefall. They are held by gravity, but they are also moving along a path that keeps them from descending appreciably during their flight. If you remember clips you have seen of astronauts in the space station, floating freely, you can see how futile it would be to try to 'stand' on an ordinary house scale to measure how 'heavy' they are in pounds. But if you could sling an astronaut around on a kind of mass-measuring centrifuge (not too fast, of course) you would see that they are maintaining a healthy mass. Weight and mass are different measures, even if they seem to be indistinguishable on the earth's surface.
Why do astronauts seem to fly inside their spacecraft?
because of unavailability of gravity.
Do astronauts seem comfortable in space suits?
Yes space suits are comfortable because of the padding in the suits.
Where there is no gravity in space then why planets revolving around the sun in a fix orbit?
There is gravity in space. Planets are gravitationally attracted to the sun, which is why they remain in orbit around the sun. There is a phenomenon that we see in orbit that is sometimes called weightlessness, although that is a misleading term. Free fall is a more accurate term. An orbiting object (or astronaut) is still being gravitationally attracted to the Earth, but because of the orbital velocity, does not actually fall to the Earth but orbits around it instead. Instead of falling downward, such objects are effectively falling in a circle (or elliptical path). They seem to be weightless but they do still have weight.
Which best explains what a scene is?
A section of a story in which events seem to be happening - Apex
What hypothesis by alfred wegener explains why contients seem to fit together?
They all fit together like a puzzle.
Which best explains the term imaginative leap?
A way of making emotional sense out of of ideas that might not seem logical
In paragraph 4 which detail explains why the backpack is easy to carry?
C. The way the backpack slides makes it seem lighter.
Were else can you find gravity but earth?
Yes. Gravity exists everywhere in the universe as all objects have a gravitational pull. Objects in space do not seem weightless because there is no gravity. Rather they seem weightless because they are in freefall.
Red orbit what is this a newspaper?
It is a website that is run by an Intelligence Organisation! Try getting an answer from wiki...nothing! Very strange! Any searches only seem to be answered by reD Orbit itself. Strangely, the red orbit website/s turn the pages on Wiki! Hmmm.....
