Does air exist in zero gravity?

If you introduce air into a space where gravity is zero, then air exists there. A current example is the inside of the International Space Station, where the crew live and work in a "shirtsleeve environment" that includes air, pressure, and warmth, but they also live and work in an environment of weightlessness, or what is popularly but erroneously called "zero gravity".


Will an egg timer work in space?

No, traditional egg timers rely on gravity to work, as they use a mechanism that depends on the flow of sand or liquid downward to measure time accurately. In a space environment where there is no gravity, these mechanisms would not function as intended.


How was the zero gravity pen originally used in space?

The zero gravity pen was originally used in space so astronauts wouldn't have to find a pen for example if the zero gravity pen floats then the astronauts would be able to see where a pen is because if the pen did not float then if one of the astronauts needed to write something down they would have to write.


Where is the closest zero gravity place?

There is no "zero gravity" place. Gravity permeates all the universe. Astronauts in orbit are often said to be in zero gravity but they are, in reality, on a position where their orbital velocity balances the attraction of the Earth.


How do astronauts do experiments in space with zero-gravity?

Gravity is certainly not necessary in order to do experiments. In fact, there are some experiments that can ONLY be done in zero gravity ... like for example an experiment to determine how seeds decide which way to send roots and where to extend the green shoots when there is no 'up' or 'down', or whether fruit-flies can maintain their sanity in zero gravity and continue their important mating work.

How many pounds does a 2 ton bus weigh with no gravity?

A two-ton bus would have zero weight in zero gravity, since weight is dependent on the force of gravity. However, gravity has an infinite range, so gravity would only actually be zero at an infinite distance from the source of the gravity.


Would zero gravity be at the same height and positive gravity be pulling and negative gravity be pushing?

No


How could plants develop in a zero-gravity environment?

They cant, if the did they planet would fall apart, zero-gravity doesnt exist.


How would plants grow in zero gravity?

They wouldn't


Can weight be zero physics?

In classical physics, weight is the force exerted on an object due to gravity. If an object has zero mass, it would not experience weight as weight is proportional to mass. So, for a body to have zero weight, it would need to have zero mass.


What would happen to buoyancy in 0 gravity?

In zero gravity, buoyancy would not be present as there is no gravity to create the force that causes objects to float in a fluid. Objects would not experience an apparent weight loss or loss of buoyancy in zero gravity.


Can a gun fire in zero gravity?

Yes, a gun can fire in zero gravity because the mechanisms that make a gun work are not dependent on gravity. However, the recoil from firing a gun in zero gravity could be more difficult to control than on Earth due to the lack of gravity affecting the shooter's stability.


How would zero gravity affect inertia?

In zero gravity, inertia would remain the same as in normal gravity. Inertia is a property of a body that causes it to resist changes in its motion, regardless of the presence or absence of gravity. Thus, objects in zero gravity would still exhibit the same resistance to changes in motion as they would in a gravitational environment.


How much zero gravity is there in space?

Zero! that's why it is called zero gravity!

How do magnets work in space and what effects do they have on objects in a zero-gravity environment?

In space, magnets work the same way as on Earth by creating a magnetic field. In a zero-gravity environment, magnets can attract or repel objects with magnetic properties, but the effects may be different due to the absence of gravity. Objects may move more freely and unpredictably in zero gravity when influenced by magnetic fields.
