How do astronauts make their own water?
Astronauts have to rely on their spacecraft to make the air for them. This is done on the space shuttle by two tanks each of liquid oxygen and liquid nitrogen. These are automatically mixed and pressurized by the cabin pressurization system to resemble what we breathe on Earth.they also use a air mask. CaRrOtS!
What do astronauts need in space?
Astronauts wear special costumes, commonly referred to as "space suits" that protect them from the rays of the sun and gasses depending on which planet they are on. Space suits are airtight and also keep them warm while in the freezing vacuums of space, and cool inthe scorching sun. They wear a tinted glass for their face, not to be blinded by the glare.
What is working Principal of A pistol?
The working principle of any firearm is that burning gunpowder produces rapidly expanding gasses. Those expanding gasses push the bullet out of the barrel at high speed.
Is father evil in The Boy in the Striped Pajamas?
Yes! He's the Nazi commandant who gasses Jews!
Why is space hazardous to an astronaut?
The first and most obvious hazard is the lack of oxygen which could cause an astronaut without suitable protective clothing to suffocate. In fact space is practically a vacuum (there is virtually nothing there at all), this means that unprotected astronauts can suffer from "decompression sickness". This is because at earth's surface there is a significant pressure acting on everything from the weight of the air in the atmosphere. On earth we don't normally notice this as we are used to it. All the fluid and dissolved gasses in our bodies is broadly at the same pressure as the atmosphere and so the two cancel each other out. However in space where there is no atmosphere pushing down or around an astronaut, the pessure is not balanced and without protective clothing, dissolved gasses in the blood and other tissues will come out of solution forming bubbles which would be extremely painful and rapidly prove fatal and would cause significant swelling. On earth we are protected from significant amounts of solar radiation by the atmosphere and the Earth's magnetic field. In space no such protection exits and so astronauts face significantly increased exposure to all types of radiation. There is also the increased risk of meteoroids (small metallic or silicate clasts ranging from sand grain size upwards) that travel at very high velocities causing damage to space vehicles (or in extremis killing astronauts) because there is no atmosphere to burn up (due to air resistance and friction) these debris.
What is process of inhalation and exhalation?
When you inhale you supply oxygen to your blood. When you exhale you get rid of wasteful gasses such as CO2. Carbon Dioxide. A simple answer would be Breathing in and breathing out.
What is the processes of inhaling and exhaling?
When you inhale you supply oxygen to your blood. When you exhale you get rid of wasteful gasses such as CO2. Carbon Dioxide. A simple answer would be Breathing in and breathing out.
What we breathing in?
We breathe in air, which is a mix of many different types of gasses. Our body absorbs the oxygen from the air, and expels any gasses that our body will not use.
Will there ever be travelers on the sun?
NO ,you would die from the heat and the gasses not even a spacecraft can go on the sun its way too hot
How did the Apollo 11 spacecraft for the launch?
The capsule and lunar module were put on top of a Saturn 5 rocket and then lifted using the exhaust gasses.
What are 5 physical characteristics of Blue Whales?
farting eating breathing letting green gasses out and pooing
What is the difference between breathing and aerobic respiration?
aerobic respiration is the controlled release of energy from food using oxygen whereas breathing is the process by which organisms exchange gasses with the environment.
Why do we need gluten in pretlez?
To provide a structure to hold the gasses in the proving dough.
What gasses are you emitting?
Humans emit carbon dioxide by breathing. They also emit carbon dioxide by belching and they emit methane by farting.
How does a Cobra snake obtain oxygen?
The same way other animals and people do - by breathing air into its lungs - and its body exchanging gasses.
How can pollution affect people?
It could affect health, breathing in countless amounts of poisoness gasses could give you lung cancer.
Do whale sharks get the bends?
in order to get the bends you have to be breathing compressed gasses, like from a SCUBA. tank or a deep sea diving compressor
