First of all the low gravity decreases all the muscle tone inside the astronaut. They find themselves unable to keep their food down in zero gravity. Then their is time. Time goes faster for them as they are away from the earth. It is because they are away from a earth a heavy body. Im not going to explain this in details as the answer is not for this question.
What else can I help you with?
What moons orbit which planets?
Well Uranis or saturn or neptune Has 47 moons Earth has only 1
What is the largest natural satellite orbiting the earth?
The only natural satellite orbiting Earth is the moon.
How would life on earth be different if you did not have a moon orbiting the earth?
there will not be water tides
Does earth have any orbiting moons?
Yes, only one
How did Galileo's observation of Jupiter moons help show that the geocentric explanation is incorrect?
Galileo's observation of Jupiter's moons orbiting another planet showed that not all celestial bodies revolved around Earth, contradicting the geocentric model that placed Earth at the center of the universe. This supported the heliocentric model proposed by Copernicus, which placed the Sun at the center with planets, including Earth, orbiting around it.
Why do astronauts appear to be weightless in a spacecraft orbiting earth?
Free fall
At what altitude does the Earth's gravity no longer have an effect on the astronauts or the space shuttle?
At what altitude does the Earth's gravity no longer have an effect on the astronauts or the space shuttle?
Does it take 27 days to orbit the earth?
That comes roughlyclose, if you happen to be the moon. Astronauts orbiting the earth make several orbits per day.
Why does astronauts appear weightless in their earth orbiting space craft?
Astronauts appear weightless in their Earth-orbiting spacecraft because both the spacecraft and the astronauts are in a state of free fall towards Earth. While the spacecraft is moving forward at a high velocity, it is also falling towards the planet due to gravity. This continuous free fall creates a condition known as microgravity, where the effects of gravity are still present but are not felt by the astronauts, making them seem weightless relative to their surroundings.
Are there people in the space station orbiting the earth?
Yes, the International Space Station (ISS) typically has a crew of astronauts on board conducting scientific research, maintaining the station, and performing other tasks. The crew size varies but usually ranges from 3 to 6 astronauts.
Why do astronauts float when in a orbiting space ship?
Astronauts float in an orbiting spaceship because both the spacecraft and the astronauts are in a state of free fall towards Earth. While the ship is constantly falling due to gravity, it also has a forward velocity that keeps it in orbit, creating a sensation of weightlessness. This condition is often referred to as microgravity, where the effects of gravity are still present but not felt in the same way as on the Earth's surface. As a result, astronauts appear to float relative to the spacecraft.
Free fall explains why astronauts have no mass while orbiting Earth?
Not quite. It explains why they have no weight. But their mass doesn't change.It's the same on earth, on the moon, and everywhere in between.
What is the name space station that is orbiting the earth now?
The space station currently orbiting Earth is called the International Space Station (ISS). It serves as a research facility for various countries and is inhabited by astronauts from around the world.
Why orbiting astronauts appear to be floating is that they are experiencing?
Yes that is what they are experiencing.
What is the moon doing while earth is orbiting the sun?
while the earth is orbiting the sun the moon is orbiting the earth
What As the space shuttle orbits the earth the shuttle and the astronauts accelerate towards the earth with the same acceleration what effect does this create?
Weightlessness
When are astronauts in free fall?
Astronauts are in free fall when they are in a spacecraft that is orbiting Earth or another celestial body. In this state, both the spacecraft and the astronauts inside are falling towards the planet due to gravity but also moving forward at a high speed, creating a continuous state of free fall. This results in the sensation of weightlessness for the astronauts, as they are in a constant state of falling around the Earth rather than towards it.
