Questions and Answers
1.
Can you survive without a space suit on in Space?
A. 
True
B. 
False
Correct Answer B. False
Explanation It is not possible to survive without a space suit in space. Space is a vacuum, meaning it is devoid of air and pressure. Without a space suit, the lack of pressure would cause the fluids in our body to boil, leading to rapid decompression and ultimately death. Additionally, the extreme temperatures in space would also be lethal. Therefore, a space suit is essential for survival in the harsh conditions of outer space.

There is gravity in only Space Ships in space.
A. 
True
B. 
False
Correct Answer B. False
Explanation This statement is false because gravity exists not only in space ships but also in any object in space. Gravity is a fundamental force that attracts objects towards each other, and its presence is not limited to space ships. Objects in space, including space ships, experience gravity due to the gravitational pull of nearby celestial bodies such as planets, stars, and moons.
