Yes. Prolonged space flight, like on board the space station, can affect the bones density and strength. With the micro gravity of space, the bones do not need to be as strong as they do on earth, because they aren't carrying the weight like they do here. The become weaker. To combat this, the astronauts exercise with some weight resistance to simulate gravity.

Which object in space has the greatest effect on the solar system?

Within our own solar system, the sun, Sol, has the greatest effect on the rest of the system. Outside of our system, objects with great effect on us include the black hole at the center of the Milky Way, other galaxies, the singularity trace where the Big Bang first occurred, roughly the "Center of the Universe," and space itself.

Condition in which dopller effect is not applicable?

in the vacuum of space. the Doppler effect depends on the time sound takes to travel through air, and the apparent change in that sound based on how far away it is as it approaches, passes and moves away from your stationary position. (if your position is not stationary, the effect is accelerated based on your speed as well as the speed of the moving (sounding) object or mechanism. since there is no air in space through the sound would have to travel, there should be (in theory) no Doppler effect in space. if you go into space and learn otherwise - let us earthbound humans know!


Does space travel harm the solar system?

Space travel does not harm the solar system itself as it mainly involves sending probes, satellites, and humans beyond Earth's atmosphere. However, space activities can potentially disrupt the environment around Earth, such as generating space debris that has the potential to collide with satellites and spacecraft. Efforts are being made to mitigate these risks.
