instead of air, what is in space ?

Answer 1

Well, there are a lot of things in space, but I think you're asking what is in the space immediately outside the earth's atmosphere. The answer to that is "nothing". It's a vacuum.

If you were to be thrown-out of a spacecraft in space, your body would be pretty torn up, you'd suffocate, and freeze-up.

It's not a very hospitable place to be.

Answer 2

There IS air in the space, infact there are every thing and anything in the space. The oply thing is they are not always condenced togather like the air around earth's atmospheir.

All the particals and stuff in the space is spread in an infinate area, some of them are clusterd around.

e.g: a clusture of particle can be called as a planet (if the particles are very-very closely clusterd to gather with a high density). Higher the density, higher the mass of it. Higher the mass higher the gravity. if it has gravity it can attract other particles, like air around the earth.

simple example to undestand this:
Imagin you droped 1ml of red ink into a 1000 letres water tank, the water won't turn red but the red ink is spread all over the water. If the 1000L water reprecent the space and then the drop of red ink represents the all the other particles in space.

Answer 3

Space?

Answer 4

Actually air is in space... Except the individual molecules of Oxygen Nitrogen, Hydrogen , Helium (and all those other gasses) are too far apart for it to do any good to us. Space is not EMPTY it is very full (considering how big space really is) it is just not full enough for you to randomly bump into most of it including molecules of gases

Answer 5

Clouds of various gases. Stars are the result of chemical reactions between those gases resulting in the display of light.

Then there are all of the obvious answers:
Satellites, the Space station Mir, the sun, the other planets, nebulae, the galactic core of the Milky Way, distant galaxies... etc.

Hope this helps you somewhat.

Answer 6

The pressure in space is equal to 10^(-22) atmosphere or 10^(-17) newton and it contains mainly hydrogen.

Answer 7

Vacuums. Hoovers, Dirt Devils and Orecks.

Answer 8

Everything is in space. Space is the vast expanse extending in all directions, within which everything is contained.

Answer 9

in contrast to air, the universe is empty, because it's a vaccum. scientists believe it's mostly made up of something called dark energy or dark matter, which we cannot see but can detect and know is there.

Answer 10

there is air in space, but you can't breathe it because it's spread out and you'd get cosmic dust up your nose.
