No. A parachute would not help a skydiver in space.
A parachute works by taking advantage of air resistance. There is no air in space,
so there can be no resistance. Perhaps that's the main reason why the Space Shuttle
never deployed its parachutes while it was still in space.

Why does a space shuttle use a parachute after landing?
The space shuttle uses a parachute after landing to slow down its descent and help it come to a controlled stop. The parachute reduces the impact force on the shuttle and allows for a safer landing for astronauts and equipment onboard.
How did the rover get to Mars?
The rover was launched into space aboard a rocket. It traveled through space for around seven months and landed on Mars using a landing system that included a heat shield, parachute, and sky crane for a controlled descent onto the Martian surface.
Why can astronauts not use parachutes to help slow down their spacecraft?
Astronauts cannot use parachutes to slow down their spacecraft because there is no atmosphere or air resistance in space to deploy and manipulate the parachute. Parachutes rely on air to create drag and slow down the descent, which is not present in the vacuum of space. Spacecraft use thrusters or heat shields to control re-entry and manage their speed during re-entry into Earth's atmosphere.
What will happen if we jump with the help of parachute on the surface of the moon?
Jumping with a parachute on the Moon would not work as it does on Earth due to the Moon's lack of atmosphere. Parachutes rely on air resistance to slow descent, and since the Moon has a very thin atmosphere, there is not enough air to create the drag necessary for a parachute to function. Instead, a person would experience free fall and land quickly on the lunar surface, as gravity on the Moon is about 1/6th that of Earth's.
What will happen if we jump with the help of parachute on the moon's surface?
There is no atmosphere on the moon. The parachute will not open. [The good news is: at one-sixth (1/6) the gravity, you will only hit with one-sixth the force.]
How does a parachute help stop the space shuttle?
It increases the amount of drag, since the space shuttle doesn't have thrust reversers like an airliner would.
Why is gravity important for skydiving?
Without gravity, there would be no atmosphere to skydive in (or breathe!). All the air would simply disperse into space. The pull of gravity gets weaker, the further you are from the Earth, however this is not noticeable by a skydiver jumping from 15,000ft. Gravity helps the air to stay close to the earth. This air can be manipulated to turn, move forwards & backwards, increase and decrease freefall speeds, remain stable and of course help to deploy the parachute. So yes gravity is vitally important to skydiving and life.

How does the shape of dolphin help them?
It gives them hydrodynamics so that the can "cut" through the water and move faster than, say, a parachute would.
Why can you not call for help in space?
Because nobody would be able to get to you to help you.
How do parachutes help skydivers land safely?
The large area of a parachute canopy increases wind resistance greatly, slowing the fall, and permitting the skydiver to steer towards a landing spot.when the skydiver jumps out of the plane his weight makes him accelerate, soon the air resistance balances out the forces, but his terminal velocity is too great for him to land safely, son he opens a parachute, the parachute makes the air resistance greater, as it has a larger surface area. soon the air resistance, and the weight are balanced, but now the parachutist is going slowly enough to land safely, and not kill himself.air resistance increases greatly when the parachute is opened and that results in the deceleration of the skydiver; As a result, The skydiver will reach a speed appropriate for landing safely.The canopy (parachute) has multiple cells. The nose (front) of the canopy is open but the back is closed which pressurises the canopy during forward flight and thus maintains the aerodynamic shape of the canopy which generates lift.The slider, a square shaped fabric with four round gommits in the corners separates the lines, the lines from the nose to the front and those from the steering brake line to the rear. The slider slows the opening down so that the deceleration is controlled.The canopy is controlled by pulling on the toggles, the left toggle for a left turn and visa versa.A final turn is made relatively close to the ground so that the landing is into wind, thus reducing the ground speed and just prior to landing, the skydiver pulls down on both toggles to induce a flare which slows and stalls the canopy for a generally soft stand up landing.By creating a large surface that has a high wind resistance, a parachute slows the fall of a sky diver- and permits them to guide the direction of their descent. Falling slower = good.i think that it balances out the force of gravity pulling you down with air resistance so you reach the ground at a sensible speed hence not getting hurt.

Does air resistance help a parachute slow down?
Of course it does. If there was no air resistance then the parachute would accelerate at the speed of gravity which is 9.8m/s/s. If a human were using a parachute and there was no air resistance then they would die. "Air resists the motion of objects traveling through it because its molecules collide with the molecules of the object. This resistance to the motion is beneficial because the force acts to slow down a parachute jumper's speed of fall. The jumper falls with increasing speed until the parachute is opened. The greater air resistance acting on the surface of the parachute will bring the jumper to a terminal velocity and will enable the parachutist to safely reach the ground".http://amyallen.org/mhs/applied_physics/physics_of_flight/rocket/parachutes_payloads.pdf
How can hibernation help humans?
It would be useful in space flight.
Which graphic organizer would help you visualize important events in the history of the US space program?
A timeline would help you visualize important events in the history of the US space program.
What would held you float safely to the ground from an airplane?
A parachute would safely slow your descent and allow you to float to the ground from an airplane. This device provides drag and aerodynamic lift to counteract the force of gravity, leading to a controlled landing. It is essential equipment for skydivers and paratroopers to ensure a safe descent.
