In the movie apollo 13, there's a scene where the astronauts released urine into space, what will happen to the urine, will it float in space for eternity?

yep yer right - i ll float until it is influence by the nearest gravitational fields of the passing by planets - if it is it ll slowly get pulled towards the planet and will be vaporised in to pee fumes in its atmosphere -
if not and its lucky enuf to escape the various pulls of the planets - it ll escape into free space and have a long journey :)
and note the temp of free space is 4K so the urine is actually frozen

It will continue to move at about the same speed as the space craft that released it. It might eventually hit the Moon, or Earth or some other planet, otherwise, yes, it would stay in space forever.

The urine gas will float around and eventually either escape the earth or fall into the atmosphere.

The urine will quickly freeze solid, it will move constantly with the module the astronauts are in until another force is applied to the module.

the urine will join with all other astronaut urine and become trapped in the gravity of and eventualy become part of the yellow liquid planet URINUS.
