if we have no weight then its equal a mause and a lion.Can hte mause push the lion and send him far away???

Hi
A mouse and a lion may not weigh anything in space but they still have the same amount of mass. Obviously the lion with it's more mass will be more resiliant to the mouse trying to push him than what would happen if the lion tried to push the mouse. I hope this helps.

Ehem..yes!..In the planets...there is always gravity (some more than others and the weight depends on the gravity force) but it's true that gravity is 0 in the space in general and weight = mass*gravity(0), and any number multiplied by zero gives zero. So, if the mouse pushes the lion; the two of them are sent far away from each other because their weight and gravity is zero!
But if they don't have a space suit they'll probably die before that happen..lol

In space you have no weight, but you still have mass.
Weight is the result of gravity acting on mass. If a mouse was thrown at a lion in space, the mouse would bounce back (unless he was eaten) and the lion would move very little.
Masses pull each other closer. Cavendish showed this. The earth is a large mass and "pulls" smaller objects toward it. We call this gravity. The amount of force this mass is pulled down on earth is the weight.

We actually all have gravity all mass has gravity, but the gravity of our physical body is irrelevant, because the Earth that we are on is so massive compared to us that it's gravity completely negates our gravity.
In space though, if we are for enough away from the influence of a larger body than ours, than smaller bodies of lesser mass would be affected by our bodies. So even thought the lion and mouse are weightless the loin would still have a greater pull than the mouse, attracting the mouse to it. I guess it would eat it when it came close enough,ha.

WE are sitting on the Earth .The Earth is in Space.
In space there is weightlessness. Therefore, the Earth sits in Space without weight. = Its weightless.
Now the lion and the mouse are also siting on the Earth.
If the mouse pushes the lion ,there is no question how far the mouse is going to go.; to the lion the mouse is a treat.

First, you must define weight clearly.
Weight is the pull of gravity towards a mass, which means your weight differ from one place to another, depends on the gravitational force.

No, the lion has more mass, the mouse would be the one to be pushed away.

There is actually weight in different gravity fields, so now instead of 'weightlessness', its called 'microgravity'.
