Yes, because of surface tension. You can find videos of this.Alltimegreat1 said:What if you were in a spaceship in outer space and had a sphere filled with water and some fish in it and then carefully removed the shell, leaving behind only a bubble of water. Would the water hold together..
This could happen. An interesting question would be, if it can swim back to the water through the air. Or if a dolphin, which can breathe air, would learn to swim through air in zero-g.Alltimegreat1 said:...and would could the fish would swim outside the bubble and suffocate?
In zero gravity, a bubble of water will form a spherical shape due to surface tension. Without the force of gravity pulling the water down, the surface tension of the water molecules will cause them to pull equally in all directions, resulting in a perfectly round bubble.
Yes, a bubble of water can exist in zero gravity without a container. In fact, astronauts on the International Space Station have observed and captured images of water bubbles floating freely in zero gravity.
In a microgravity environment, such as on the International Space Station, bubbles of water can have a significant impact on the surrounding environment. They can affect the distribution of gases, heat, and even microbial growth. Scientists study these effects to better understand how fluids behave in space.
Yes, bubbles of water in zero gravity can be used for a variety of experiments. They can be used to study fluid dynamics, heat transfer, and even the behavior of particles within the bubble. In addition, bubbles can also be used as a microgravity environment for biological and chemical experiments.
Bubbles of water in zero gravity behave very differently compared to those on Earth. On Earth, gravity causes the water molecules to settle towards the bottom of the bubble, resulting in a distorted shape. In zero gravity, the water molecules are evenly distributed, resulting in a perfectly round bubble.
