All objects fall at the same rate due to gravity, which varies depending on the object’s position. On Earth, gravity is approximately 32.2 ft/sec2, while on the moon it is one-sixth of that. The acceleration due to gravity on different planets can be calculated using an equation. Air resistance affects the speed of fall on […]
Gravity shapes flames into teardrops on Earth, while in space flames take on a round shape due to the expansion of heated gas in all directions. Fireballs in space are dimmer than Earth’s flames, with NASA studying them in the SOFBALL experiment. Smoke detectors on spacecraft are placed in ventilation systems. Gravity influences the shape […]
