  1. newtonian gravity - Why is Microgravity called "Microgravity ...

    Oct 5, 2020 · Microgravity is the condition in which people or objects appear to be weightless. The effects of microgravity can be seen when astronauts and objects float in space.

  2. Does convection occur in microgravity due to pressure gradient?

    May 17, 2022 · In a microgravity environment, the gas will heat and expand uniformly in all directions. Due to diffusion and thermal conduction (followed by eventual thermal equilibrium …

  3. Fire behaviour in microgravity - Physics Stack Exchange

    The NASA has conducted an experiment in space (Flame Extinguishment Experiment (FLEX)) where they'd initiate a combustion in microgravity in order to test the effectiveness of different …

  4. Magnets in microgravity - Physics Stack Exchange

    Sep 18, 2015 · Lets say you were in a space station in microgravity. If you were to suspend a magnet in the air would it migrate slowly towards the nearest magnetic surface?

  5. Do realistic gravitational differences affect chemistry?

    Dec 16, 2017 · Would the lesser gravity of the moon, the microgravity of the space station and lack of Earth's atmosphere make a difference in atomic or chemical reactions?

  6. Why do water drops form spheres in space? [duplicate]

    Nov 23, 2018 · Minimizing energy. If there is a small amount of water, then surface tension wants to try and minimize the surface area of it, and the minimum surface area for a given volume …

  7. Astronauts being able to move "heavier" objects easily in space

    Jun 25, 2021 · I was watching this video where the astronauts demonstrate how an object that would weigh some large amount on Earth is nearly weightless in the microgravity experienced …

  8. Effect of gravity on height of a person - Physics Stack Exchange

    Oct 27, 2016 · Astronauts experiencing microgravity in space have indeed been found to return to Earth a few centimeters taller than when they left. Some studies conducted have indicated that …

  9. gravity - What will happen if a vacuum chamber gets moved with …

    Jul 21, 2019 · There are no such spheres. You can build vacuum chambers to test in, but they have normal Earth gravity. Microgravity testing is done either in airplanes performing parabolic …

  10. astronomy - Is there a simple, accurate formula for calculating …

    I have access to "rise" and "set" times for astronomical objects, and want to determine the corresponding times of culmination. Is there a reliable and accurate way to do this? It isn't …
