Triple earth's mass effect its orbit?
The earth's mass has no effect on its orbit. An astronaut on a "space walk" hovering over the space shuttle's cargo bay is in the same earth-orbit as the shuttle itself is, although his mass is much less than the shuttle's mass. At the same time, the shuttle and the astronaut are both in the same solar orbit as the earth is, although each of them has quite a bit less mass than the earth has.
How does the tilt of earth axis effect the number of daylight hours effect the temperature of a location on earth?
Less light means the temperature falls. With fewer hours of daylight, there is less time for temps to increase at all. The combination produces longer periods of lower temperatures and a breeze or winds increase the cold's effects.
How much living space do astronauts have in a rocket?
As there is less space , and three men share the craft the amount of space will be less.
Does the mass of an astronaut change when he or she is visiting the international space station?
The force of gravity decreases with the distance between bodies, but it is still about 90% of the sea level value in high Earth orbit. There zero gravity exists because of the "free fall" of the orbit. At some point several thousand miles from Earth, the attraction from the Earth or the Moon does become very small, creating virtual weightlessness.Gravity is inversely proportional to the distance from the center of mass, which is why on the Earth's surface the effect of the Sun's gravity (which is much greater) is negligible compared to that of the Earth.
Do astronauts require less or more sleep while they are in space?
Astronauts require less sleep than normal; Theoretically because the astronauts always have to be alert in a dangerous setting like space.

Why is you weight less on high ground?
You are farther from Earth, so there is less gravity. Usually this effect should be quite insignificant. But it maybe significant if you are an astronaut going into space.
Which requires less fuel launching a rocket from the earth or space?
Earth has gravity so less fuel is needed to move a rocket in space(assume that you mean escape from earth's gravitational field by"from earth")
Why does a space telescope produce a clearer image then an earth based telescope?
There is less dust in space than earth.
If a space vehicle is designed to orbit around the earth very slowly should it be put into a low or high orbit?
A high orbit. The effect of gravity gets less as you get further away from the Earth and so you'd need less speed to keep up.
Do you weigh more or less at the centre of earth?
you wight less because of the gravity in space
What are the release dates for Star Trek Deep Space Nine - 1993 Q-Less 1-6?
Star Trek Deep Space Nine - 1993 Q-Less 1-6 was released on: USA: 7 February 1993
Do astronauts require less or more sleep than normal when they are in space?
They sleep up to .5 to 2.5 hours less then they do on Earth then in space
What happens if we don't have green house effect?
If we didn't have a greenhouse effect, all of the heat that the earth radiates upwards would make it out into space - making the planet much less inhabitable and causing major temperature differences from sunlight and shade
Why does it take less fuel to launch a space shuttle from moon than from earth?
To launch a space shuttle (or anything) you have to overcome gravity. The gravitational attraction of the moon is tremendously less than that of the Earth. The moon is much smaller than the Earth.
What will the atmospheric effect on less ozone in the stratosphere?
Less ozone means less security. This will cause UV to enter the earth.
Why are astronauts in space weightless?
Although the Earth's gravity has a lesser effect on an astronaut orbiting the Earth in a spaceship than on a person on the surface of the Earth, this is not the reason why an astronaut experiences weightlessness. The space shuttle, International Space Station and most other manned vehicles don't get that far from the Earth. The Earth's gravitational attraction at those altitudes is only about 11% less than it is at the Earth's surface. If you had a ladder that could reach as high as the shuttle's orbit, your weight would be 11% less at the top. Put another way, a person who weighs 100 pounds on the Earth's surface would weigh about 89 pounds at the top of the ladder.
