In space, the weight of an object is determined by its mass and the gravitational pull acting on it. The object with more mass will typically have more weight. However, in a microgravity environment, objects may appear to be weightless even if they have different masses.

Why are space rovers so small?

The larger and heavier something is, the harder it is to get into space. The more weight you put into a spacecraft, the more fuel you need. And on top of that, you need additional fuel to get that fuel into space, so the need for fuel increases exponentially with the weight of the spacecraft.


Can three points determine space?

Three points can determine a plane but not 3-d space.


What is the fuel of a star in space?

Hydrogen , Helium and a few heavier elements.


Is there lead in space?

Yes, most heavier elements are made in dieing stars.


If you pushed off from something in space would you float away for ever?

If you push off from something in space without any external force acting on you, you will continue moving forward at a constant velocity due to inertia. However, in the absence of gravity or other forces, you will not float away forever. Your initial push will determine how far you drift before coming to a stop or encountering another object, as there is no air resistance or friction in space to slow you down.


Why cold air is heavier than hot hair?

It is not heavier, it is "denser" that is because its molecules move around less and thus take up less space.


Which one will determine how much water will be displaced - mass or volume?

Volume will determine how much water will be displaced. The volume of an object dictates how much space it occupies, which in turn determines the amount of water it displaces when submerged. Mass alone does not directly affect water displacement.


What is the amount of space that something occupies or the amount of space something contains called?

The amount of space that something occupies is called volume, while the amount of space something contains is called capacity.


How earth is having its atmosphere without mingling mith the outer space?

Basically, the gravity of the Earth prevents the heavier elements from escaping into space.


What is the comparison of how heavy something is to the space it takes up?

Density is the word used to describe how much mass an object has per unit volume. How heavy something is (weight), is a function of its mass and acceleration due to gravity. How much space an object takes up is its volume.


Are space probes the same thing as satilight?

No they aren't the same. A satellite is on a defined orbit and a probe is something sent to discover planets or other space objects.


Does vacuum sealing make clothes heavier when packing for a trip?

No, vacuum sealing clothes does not make them heavier when packing for a trip. It simply compresses the clothes to save space in your luggage.
