Outer space is characterized by extremely low air pressure, essentially close to a vacuum. In most regions of space, the pressure is nearly zero, with very few particles present, resulting in a density much lower than that found at sea level on Earth. This lack of air pressure means there is insufficient matter to support life as we know it and significantly affects the behavior of gases and other materials in that environment.

Why is there no pressure in outer space?

There is no pressure in outer space because it is essentially a vacuum, meaning there are very few, if any, particles present to exert pressure. Without air or any other medium to press against our bodies, we do not experience pressure in the same way we do in environments with air or water.


Why do you explode in outer space?

Because there is no air and thus no pressure that would hold your atoms together


What if you run out of air in space?

There is no air in outer space.


Do outer space has air?

no


In space is air pressure great?

In space, there is no air, and its pressure is Zero.


Why cant Sound waves in outer space cannot travel in outer space because?

No air. Sound is vibration is something- most commonly air, but sometimes water, metal, etc. There is no air in outer space to be vibrated.


What is space entirely empty of a matter or air?

A vacuum is a space that is entirely empty of matter or air. It has extremely low pressure, so there are no particles or atoms present. This is different from outer space, which still contains some particles, such as gas and dust.


What is the pressure in space?

It depends on what you mean by "outer space". One commonly accepted definition is that outer space begins at the Karman line, 100 km above sea level. At this height atmospheric pressure is about 1 Pa (pressure at sea level is about 101 kPa). Beyond that, scientists generally don't talk in terms of "pressure" but instead use mass density to describe how empty (or not) space is. The average mass density of the universe has been estimated at around 1 hydrogen atom per cubic meter. The pressure in outer space is so low that many consider it as non-existant. It has a pressure of 1.322 × 10-11 Pa. Pressure may be detected from the molecule of air or water hitting you. Since there is very little air and hardly ever water hitting you in space, pressure is almost zero or negligible.


What would happen if you farted in outer space?

If you farted in outer space, due to the lack of air pressure, the gas from your fart would spread out quickly and disperse into the vacuum of space. There would be no sound or smell because there is no medium for the sound waves or odor particles to travel through.


Is the air present in the outer space?

Yes, but a very minimal amount. And this is far different than terrestrial "air." The gas in outer space is mainly hydrogen.


Can any sounds at all be heard in outer space?

No, because sound is a vibration of the air and there is no air in space.


Why do you consider most of outer space empty?

No air
