Yes, fire can exist in zero gravity. And it's amazing to see. At least on a small scale. There was a real fire aboard the Mir space station, and it burned as predicted - in a sphere around the fuel source. A candle was lit aboard Mir and it burned with the faintest blue color, but the cameras could not see this. A match was also lit in the space station as a test. You can see a 5-second clip of a flame in zero gravity on YouTube, and a link is posted below.

Can a gun fire in zero gravity?

Yes, a gun can fire in zero gravity because the mechanisms that make a gun work are not dependent on gravity. However, the recoil from firing a gun in zero gravity could be more difficult to control than on Earth due to the lack of gravity affecting the shooter's stability.


Where the gravity is zero?

do you mean where is zero gravity? if so it is all in space and sometimes at science places such as a lab where scientist study zero gravity. to me that stuff is awesome you can float in the air and stuff its awesome.


How can you create zero gravity?

There is no place in the universe that has zero gravity. No matter where you are some type of gravitational force is acting upon you. So there is no way to create zero gravity even in the vastness of space.


What does the term zero gravity mean?

Zero gravity refers to the phenomenon experienced in space where the effects of gravity are greatly reduced, making objects and individuals appear weightless. This occurs when an object is in free fall, such as in orbit around Earth. Objects can still have weight in zero gravity, but they do not feel the force of gravity acting upon them.


Does an object stay in place in zero gravity or does it rise?

In zero gravity, an object will typically stay in place if it is not acted upon by any external forces. If an external force is applied, the object may move in the direction of that force. Objects can float or move about freely in zero gravity depending on their initial state.

Is zero gravity possible?

Zero gravity, also known as microgravity, occurs when an object is in freefall and experiences an apparent weightlessness. This is commonly observed in space environments such as the International Space Station. While true zero gravity does not exist in a gravitational field, there are environments in which the effects of gravity are minimal enough to create the sensation of weightlessness.


How much zero gravity is there in space?

Zero! that's why it is called zero gravity!


Does air exist in zero gravity?

If you introduce air into a space where gravity is zero, then air exists there. A current example is the inside of the International Space Station, where the crew live and work in a "shirtsleeve environment" that includes air, pressure, and warmth, but they also live and work in an environment of weightlessness, or what is popularly but erroneously called "zero gravity".

Is there zero gravity at the center of the earth?

Yes; the gravity from different sides should cancel, for a net result of zero gravity.
