What happen to a dead body if dumped in space? Will it rotten?

Answer 1

Since the space is a vacuum.......
there r 2 possibilities:
1) It will not have any change not even decomposition will occur as a vacuum does not contain any particles not even a bacteria which can start the process of decomposition
2) When it goes near a sun or a hot body it will just melt under the extreme heat

Answer 2

it will not be rotten, although it can get damaged by the spacial objects like asteroids, meteors etc....it can also be affected by the gravitational pull exerted by the heavy gravitational force planets like jupiter and saturn........sun can also do some on its way.........though not soon, the body will slowly gets destroyed in the years when dumped in space.....i guess

Answer 3

It will dry out and atrophy,it will not rot.
There chemicals called ptomaines that are present after death that would process the flesh and it would eventually mummify and fade to dust. You know the old saying "dust to dust"!

Answer 4

as soon as it is released, seeing as though in space there is no pressure, the body will simply explode as the pressure inside is so much greater than the pressure outside xD

Answer 5

Rotting is a biological process caused by bacteria, and bacteria require oxygen. So no, it will not rot.

Answer 6

It will freeze. cant decompose without oxygen. It would probably take some damage, but last forever. Good luck getting your wife there.

Answer 7

It will not rot but will be affected by heat and cold but no bacteria will or could be there to produce any rot

Answer 8

It will remain as it is forever.
