It's fairly simple. Build an air-tight container, and attach a vacuum pump to suck the air out. It's a fairly common thing to do, actually.

For a more elaborate vacuum chamber, build a second fairly large airtight container and connect the two together with a valve between them. Attach a vacuum pump (or several of them) and "evacuate" the air from the large chamber. Then, when you open the valve between them, the air in the smaller chamber will immediately be sucked out and into the larger chamber, creating an "instant" vacuum.

Which plant can grow in vacuum in space?

Plants cannot grow in a vacuum in space because they require air, water, and nutrients to survive. The lack of atmosphere and extreme conditions in space make it impossible for plants to thrive without the necessary resources.


When did space lose oxygen?

Space does not "lose" oxygen as it is a vacuum. Oxygen is present in the Earth's atmosphere, but it becomes extremely sparse as you move away from the planet. The lack of oxygen in space can make it uninhabitable for humans without proper life support systems.


What sound does the earth make while spinning?

The Earth is rotating on its axis as a single body, spinning in a vacuum. The atmosphere is pulled along with the rotation, so there are not any things moving at different speeds to make any kind of noise. However, the fact that the Earth rotates is a major factor in the creation of weather, and there are many noises associated with that, which many animals can hear, including us.


Are stars loud?

"In space no one can hear you scream" because a vacuum doesn't conduct sound. BUT ... within the atmosphere of any star it would sound like an atom bomb going off. Unfortunately any ears to hear it would be vaporized.


7. If the space colonists travel at 6000 kmh how long will it take them to get to the Moon from Earth when the Moon is at its farthest point from Earth Its nearest point to Earth?

The journey time depends on the route taken. Space colonists will not travel in a straight line from the earth to the moon: most space trips orbit the earth and use the earth's gravity to make use of the sling-shot action for acceleration. This saves on fuel and so the associated weight to be carried into space.

Why does paper fall faster on the moon?

Faster than on Earth? The reason it falls slowly on Earth is because of air resistance. You can also make it fall quickly on Earth if you make it fall within a vacuum chamber.

Does vacuum sealing clothes make them lighter?

Vacuum sealing clothes does not make them lighter, but it compresses them to save space.


Can you make a vacuum in outer space?

No problem ! Outer space is already a vacuum ... full of it ! I used to read that space is a better vacuum than any vacuum that can be produced in a laboratory on earth. Maybe that's not true any more. Bu the fact remains: Space is a pretty good vacuum. Open a pickle jar in outer space, wait 30 seconds, shake it around a couple times, then screw the cover back on, tight. When you get back, you'll have a jar full of the best vacuum any of your friends have ever seen. (Hard to prove, though.)


What is Outerspace made of?

outer space is a vacuum and a vacuum is completely empty space. however all celestial bodies that exist in space(planets, stars, etc.) do not make up space


How can we make an artificial vacuum on earth?

Creating a complete artificial vacuum on Earth is challenging due to the planet's atmospheric pressure. One way to approximate a vacuum is by using vacuum chambers that remove as much air as possible. These chambers can be used in scientific experiments and industrial processes to simulate low-pressure environments.


Do suction cups work inside a vacuum chamber?

I don't see any reason why it wouldn't.... all particles have different densities. unless rubber isn't dense enough to block the impossible zero density of outer-space. 0 is abstract not concrete. I would probably just make my suction cup out of metal and use a dyson vacuum to power it. lol <><><><> NO! A suction cup is held in place by the air OUTSIDE the cup pushing it against the surface. No air in space. No air, no push, no workee.

How does NASA make freeze dried food?

NASA does not make freeze dried food, they buy it from contractors that make it to NASA specifications (like everything else NASA uses). Freeze dried foods are made by freezing the food, then placing it in a vacuum chamber. The vacuum causes the frozen water in the food to sublime (change directly from solid to vapor without melting). After all the water is removed the food is removed from the vacuum chamber.


Can you make a vacuum in space?

No. The conventional description of a vacuum is airless, and there's already no air, so it's called a vacuum. But don't let this fool you into the old belief there's absolutely nothing there. It's quantum field of 'dark energy', from which particles can propagate.


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.


Do black holes make sound in space?

No, black holes do not make sound in space because sound requires a medium to travel through, and space is a vacuum with no medium for sound waves to propagate.
