If Earth is in space. Does that mean we are in space because we are on Earth?

Question

I have always wondered that

Answer 1

we are floating in space.

but not OUTER space..

Everything is a space.
there is a space between your toes.

there is a space between your ears.

space is relative.

Answer 2

Well answering this questions is relative to where you are. I guess from "God's point of view" yes we are all in space; the earth, all the people, everything. As a human on earth , space is somewhere different from where I am. So we would not be in space.

Hope this helps.

Answer 3

Space is generally considered to be everything outside Earth's atmosphere. Under that definition, we are not in space while on Earth.

Answer 4

We are on the Earth, protected by the atmosphere, the Earth is in space. So we are in space protected by natural mother ship Earth.

Answer 5

Yes

It's like if you fly in an airplane you are in the sky, even though you are in something.

Earth is moving in space, so you could consider that you are actually in space. Do you think the moon is in space? If you do, what if you were standing on the moon looking at earth, then earth would be in space.

Answer 6

Not really. The term "space" typically refers to areas outside of an established atmosphere - like that of Earths.

However, if you want to look at it in a physics/philosophical perspective, all matter that exists is unified in the concept of 'time and space'.

You know, depending on how detailed you want to get :D

Answer 7

No. earth is, but we are on the earth so we are not in space so to speak.

Answer 8

Yep, that' s right. The earth is a part of the greater solar system.

Answer 9

we're technically not in space because we do not have the same conditions as space such as zero gravity and zero oxygen, thats what i always think anyway.

Answer 10

I guess so. Kind of a convoluted assumption, but actually true.
