Water on earth is never lost in space; vapors are condensed and transformed in rains and snow.

Is there a way to determine if water ever leaves the Earth"?

Yes, scientists can track the movement of water on Earth through the water cycle, which includes processes like evaporation, condensation, and precipitation. By studying these processes, scientists can determine if water ever leaves the Earth's system.


Is there evaporation in space?

You could find the phenomenon of evaporation in space, when comets approach the sun (which most comets never do, but which some do). Technically, it is really sublimation rather than evaporation, since the ice in comets becomes vapor without ever going through a liquid phase. Otherwise it would be unusual to find evaporation in space. There are no liquids to evaporate.


Is water ever added or taken away from the water cycle?

Water is continually recycled in the water cycle, with no addition or subtraction. The process involves evaporation, condensation, and precipitation, where water changes state and moves around the earth in a continuous cycle. Human activities can impact this natural cycle through pollution or overuse of water resources.


If no new water ever arrives on Earth where do rain and snow come from?

Rain and snow form from the water on Earth that evaporates into the atmosphere, cools, and then condenses into droplets or ice crystals. This process is part of the water cycle, where water constantly moves between the atmosphere, land, and oceans through processes such as evaporation, condensation, precipitation, and runoff.


Has there ever been ice or water on venus?

Scientists think there may once have been large bodies of water on Venus, like oceans on Earth, but they all evaporated or something into space.


Has the rain cycle ever stopped since it began?

No, the water cycle, which includes the process of rain, has been a continuous natural process since the Earth's early days. The cycle involves the evaporation of water from the Earth's surface, condensation in the atmosphere, precipitation as rain, and the runoff of water back into oceans and rivers.


Did the space shuttle ever land on the moon?

No. The space shuttle is built for low Earth orbit, not moon landings.


Do satellite ever stop in space?

No, they do not stop until they reenter the earth's atmosphere.


Has a human ever been born in space?

No, as of now, no human has been born in space. All individuals who have traveled to space were born on Earth.


Which wall on earth can be seen from space?

Pretty much all the exterior ones; ever look at Google Earth?


Is the earth ever been photographed from outer space?

Yes, the Earth has been photographed from outer space by astronauts aboard spacecraft like the Apollo missions and the International Space Station. These photographs provide valuable scientific data and also offer unique perspectives of our planet.


How does the amount of water on the earth change over time?

The amount of water on the Earth doesn't change very much at all. Trace quantities are dissociated into hydrogen and oxygen by sunlight, or launched into space on our various space craft. Water hardly ever arrives on the Earth from space, but a medium sized comet could deliver billions of gallons of water (and knock our civilization into a new Dark Age) if it collided with the Earth. Many scientists believe that cometary impacts may have provided the majority of Earth's water when our planet was still young.
