Does outer space exist

Answer 1

just cos

Answer 2

Answer

One of the most common errors is that people say there is no gravity in space. Gravity is everywhere, even in space. Astronauts look weightless because they are in continuous freefall towards the Earth, staying aloft because of their horizontal motion.

The effect of gravity diminishes with distance, but it never truly goes away.

***

Yes, there is gravity everywhere in the universe. Gravity is simply the attraction "force" of a huge ball, or mass of something. The bigger the mass, the stronger the gravity. Astronauts orbiting a the earth are not in a zero g environment, they are actually being pulled toward the earth but are moving so fast perpendicular to the earth that they don't hit the ground.

Answer 3

Gravity is a function of mass, so if there is no mass nearby, there will be no gravity. By 'nearby', I am talking about within several hundred billion miles. The gravity field of our sun extends well beyond the orbit of Pluto, a distance of several billion miles. However, a space capsule in orbit around a body will give the illusion of zero gravity because it is constantly falling around the body it is orbiting. Gravity is constantly pulling the capsule toward the center of the planet, but the velocity of the capsule causes it to fall in a curve. The curved trajectory means that the planet is constantly curving away from the capsule, so it is in 'free fall', and the occupants will have no sensation of weight.

Answer 4

Some gravity afects all space, However if you are in outer space well away from any planets you wil experience what is known as weightlesness because there is so litle gravity you wont know that its there.

Answer 5

Yes there is. In interstellar space there is an attraction toward the center of the galaxy. In inter-galactic space there is an attraction toward the nearest cluster of galaxies. Gravity doesn't disappear with distance, it just gets weaker.

Answer 6

The force of gravity works in the same way but it get much weaker over larger distances.

So, for example if you get ten times further away from something its gravitational pull reduces to 1/100.

Answer 7

Yes.
