WHy is there no oxegon in space?

Answer 1

There is plenty of OXYGEN in space, but it is distributed over such a huge volume, that it is unavailable to us. The air pressure lowers as you get further away from the surface of the Earth, until you get so far away that there is hardly anything there, it is spread out so far, which is what is called a vacuum. What gas is there, is mostly Hydrogen, with a smaller amount of Helium, and only traces of Oxygen, Nitrogen, and other gases. Space is so big, though, that if you put it all together, there would be many, many millions of tonnes of Oxygen, much more than on the whole of this planet.

Answer 2

Space is defined as the empty area beyond the atmosphere

However Space is lumpy
Gravitational pockets attract atoms toward themselves,.
Space is littered with gravitational Masses that contain oxygen

Also Plants produce oxygen and there is no dirt or water to grow plants

Answer 3

oxygen is a higher element so there is less of it than say hydrogen

oxygen is heavier and has more gravitational force to pull it to other bodies.

there really isn't anything in space...it's like one atom of hydrogen for every cubic meter...anything out there wants to end up close to something else so gravitaional forces keep space for the most part empty

Answer 4

To make it harder to get to? :-)

Because if there was air, you'd still be in the atmosphere, and not yet in space? It's almost an answer of "by definition".

Answer 5

I believe there is but it is not much due to unlimited of space and time.

Answer 6

cuz space does not have d gravitational pull which pulls d air. earth has gravity , thus has oxygen

Answer 7

It's not needed!
