There is no change to an objects status as matter in space. Matter continues to exist in the absence of air and weight. If this were not the case all matter in space (suns, planets, etc.) would all vanish.

Mass and weight are two different things. Mass is a measure of how much matter an object has, and that does not change when you change or eliminate gravity. Weight, on the other hand, is the force that an object creates due to its mass and the influence of gravity. If it takes a certain amount of force to accelerate an object, it will still take that certain amount of force to accelerate it the same way from the same reference point, no matter what the gravity.

What is the answer to mass?

Mass is anything that has weight and occupies space.


What is the meaning of Massed?

Mass is the amount of material in an object. Mass has weight, volume, takes up space, and is measurable.


What would your mass be in space if you weighed 48kg?

Your mass would be 48kg both on Earth and in space as mass remains constant regardless of location. Weight, on the other hand, would vary depending on the gravitational pull of the celestial body you are on.


Are weight and mass considered the same in outer space?

Absolutely not! Any body has the same mass anywhere. The weight of a body is the effect of gravity on the mass.


Is your weight bigger or smaller in space?

Your weight is much less in space due to the lack of gravity, and when your in space your weight is literally near-nothing. Your mass stays the same though.


If an object has a mass of 75 kg what is it's weight?

Its weight depends on the force of gravity acting on the mass. In outer space, for example, its weight will be 0.


Does the mass of an astronaut change when she or he is visiting the International Space Station?

The mass of an astronaut does not change when she is visiting the International Space Station. Mass is a property that does not change, but the weight of a person does change in space.


What is mass and matter?

mass is known the weight but matter is anything that takes up space and has mass. mass is a property of matter.


How would your weight and mass change if you were floating freely in space?

the weight reduces due to change in gravity but mass remains constant


Which measurement your weight or mass would be the same when taken on Earth and on the Moon?

Your mass is never different no matter where you are. Mass is the amount of space you take up. Your weight is a different thing, and that changes with the amount of gravity. In outer space you are 'weightless' but not massless.


Why human weight reduces in space?

weight is equal to mass times gravity. on earth gravity is 10 N/kg, however in space it is less. so for example if your mass is 60 kg then your weight on earth would be 600 N. you just times your mass by the gravity to find out what your weight is! so in space weight reduces because gravity isn't as strong as it is here.


Why does an austronaut ina satellite have no weight?

Weight is mass time gravity. If there is no gravity effect on someone in space, they are considered "weightless". They continue to have the same amount of mass whether they are in space or on Earth.
