What else can I help you with?
Does space have more or less gravity than earth?
Space itself does not have gravity, as gravity is a force produced by mass. In space, the gravity experienced depends on the mass of nearby objects, such as planets or stars. If you are far away from any massive objects, you would experience very little gravity, while being close to a massive object would result in stronger gravity.
What does a liter of water weigh in space?
Weight depends on gravity. People seem to think there is no gravity in space yet the earths gravitational pull is quite strong for quite long. Think of the moon, its pulled by earths gravity long after our atmosphere gives way to the vacuum of space. A liter of water would be the same weight in space and would only fade over long distances. As a side note space begins at like 60-70 miles above the earths surface. If you took a space ship up 120 miles (well into space) and parked it, you would promptly fall back to earth like any object dropped from a height. Lack of atmosphere implies nothing about gravity.
Is gravity in space stronger than earth's gravity?
No. Gravitational attraction is a function of the mass of the Earth and the mass of the body being attracted. The mass of the Earth is the same, no matter where one is located. However, the rotation of the Earth does exert centrifugal force upon bodies on the surface, and that force is greatest at the equator, diminishing as one approaches the poles. Centrifugal force would tend to reduce the measured weight (but not the mass or the gravitational attraction) of a body close to the equator.
If the earth broke in half would all the air go out into space?
I suppose each half planet would still have enough gravity to keep atmosphere near it.Note that each half would change its shape so that it is nearly a sphere. This would be catastrophic for any living beings.I suppose each half planet would still have enough gravity to keep atmosphere near it.Note that each half would change its shape so that it is nearly a sphere.

What efffect does passing wind have in space?
In space, passing wind would not make any sound due to the lack of air molecules to carry the sound waves. Additionally, there would be no gravity to cause the gas to rise or fall, so it may disperse more evenly in all directions.
What would happen to a cut up apple in space?
Since there is not any gravity in space, the apple pieces would start floating around.

How does a plane's gravity change the path of a space probe?
Any such change would be insignificant.
If there was no gravity why do people say there would be no oxygen?
Gravity holds things down to Earth (or any other body in space). The oxygen only stays on earth because of this gravity. Without gravity, oxygen and our whole atmosphere would just disperse and float off into space.
Why would you float up in space if you did not have any gravity?
cause gravity pulls us down and doesn't let us float
Do meteorites have atmosphere?
No. Any atmosphere would quickly escape into space, due to the low gravity.
What is the gravity on space?
The strength of gravity at any point in space will vary depending on what objects are present, how far away they are, and how much mass they have.
What happens if you put an egg in space?
In space, an egg would float due to the lack of gravity. Without the force of gravity pulling the denser yolk downward, the egg would retain its shape and appear spherical. In the vacuum of space, the egg would not cook or freeze instantly as commonly believed, but it would eventually freeze over time due to the extreme cold temperatures.
Consider the statement There's no gravity in space true or false?
False. There is gravity in space. However, there are sections of space far away from any mass that will have no gravitational forces. So really, it depends on where you are in space (how close to a body of mass you are) whether there will be gravity or not.
Why is there no gravity or air in space?
These two are tied together. There is nowhere in the universe in which there are no gravity since the range of gravity is infinite. But Gravity gets weaker as get farther away, and therefore if you move far away enough, it would feel like there is no gravity. The reason why there is no air in space is that gravity attracts air, and without any gravity, all the atoms will either just slowly move around or just create their own gravity.
Why is there no sea on the moon?
Any sea would quickly evaporate, and go off into outer space, due to the Moon's low gravity.
How much would a penny weigh on the moon?
It is really hard to tell because there isn't any gravity in space so it would just float around.
