If we let all of Earth's helium float off into space, we will not be able to replace it.
Helium is a very important resource because it can be cooled to very low temperatures and exist as a liquid. It's used in MRI machines to cool the superconducting magnets, for instance.
When used for cryogenic purposes, it's allowed to boil off into the atmosphere, where it floats up into space and is lost forever.
What else can I help you with?
Could a helium balloon float all the way up into space?
NO! all gas's volume depends on temperature, as the balloon goes up, its volume decreases, resulting in it no longer floating after a certain hight, after that, it will come down and expand again, repeating this process until it losses enough air to land, or another factor interferes with it.
Why do people in space float to a ceartain limit if there is no gravitational force then people should continue to fly or float upwardsBut this does not happens they keep on floating on a ceartain hei?
First it is a common misconception that things "float" in space. Actually everything in space is in a freefall, and when things freefall they appear to be weightless. There is no way to escape gravity, and anything that mass mass has gravity, even if you were a millin lightyears away Earths gravity would still affect you it would just be very very weak . Astronuts in the space shuttle "float" bcease they are so high up that they are falling around the Earth.
What would happen if a lid from a jar with helium gas was removed?
The Helium gas will expand and rise into the suurounding the air as it is less dense and lighter air. Depending on the amount of helium and the size of the room the Helium could displace the breathable mix in the space and become a danger to health.
Can you float around space with your space suit on and land on other planets?
No
What will a helium filled balloon do in space?
In space, a helium-filled balloon will expand further due to the lack of air pressure outside the balloon. Eventually, the balloon will burst because the pressure from the helium inside will exceed the pressure outside.
What happens when you wear glasses in space?
they might float away
Why didnt Felix float when he jumped from space?
Because technically he wasn't in space. He was on the edge of Earths atmosphere. so gravity was still in effect.
What happens when you get out of Earths gravitational pull?
When you reach beyond Earth's gravitational pull, you enter outer space. Objects in space continue to be influenced by the gravitational forces of other celestial bodies such as the sun, planets, and stars. Becoming free from Earth's gravitational pull allows spacecraft to travel to other planets and explore the universe.
Do you float in space?
No, you do not float in space. In space, there is no gravity to pull you down, so you would float freely.
Are you safe even if astronauts blow up the asteroids?
That depends are they in earths atmosphere and able to fall, or are they in outer space and only able to float?
What happens to spinning tops or bouncing balls in space?
A spinning top will continue to spin in space. A floating ball will continue to float in space because there is not gravity.
Why do space shuttle float on space?
A space shuttle is able to float because there is no gravity in space.
Could you use helium to float an item into space?
No, air pressure increases as the balloon goes up, so the balloon will pop and fall to the ground. You can get high up in the atmosphere (but you need a LOT of helium and a balloon that can get VERY big) you will not reach "outer" space beyond the Earth's atmosphere.
What happens to astronauts's sweat when they do exercise?
there sweat starts to float in the space shuttle because once the astronauts are exercising in space they would start to sweat
Why will a helium balloon float in the air when a golf ball won't?
Both a helium balloon and a golf ball take up space that air would otherwise occupy if they were not there. The weight of a helium balloon is much less than the weight of the air that would otherwise fill its space, so the surrounding air holds it up. This is called buoyancy and is also the reason that a boat made of steel will float on water. On the other hand, the weight of a golf ball is much more than the weight of the air that would otherwise fill its space, so the surrounding air is unable to hold it up and it stays on the ground. In other words it is too heavy to float in the air.
What can astronauts do on the space station?
The astronauts can float in the
