Hey everyone.
I was wondering if you could all help me with this question I've been pondering.
Let's say you're in space where there's zero gravity.
The cabin of the ship is pressurised to that of sea level, 101.3 kpa I believe.
So you pop a balloon of water and let the blob of water float. Then you increase the temperature of the room to 100c, the boiling point of water at sea level.
Here's where I can't come to a definite answer:
When the bubbles that form in the blob of water start to rise, would they rise to what we would call the top of the blob of the water, we'll say towards the top of the space craft? What would be consider going up.
Or would the bubbles rise to the surface of the blob of water in all directions as technically, there is no up and down, left and right in zero gravity?
If I can get your input on this, that'd be awesome.
10 points for the best answer.
