Is there any friction in the space?

Is there any friction in the space?

Yes, when two surfaces rub together in outer space, there will be friction. Friction is a surface effect and doesn’t depend upon there being air. There is also a force like air resistance from the very sparse gas in space, but it will be very, very small since space is a very good vacuum.

Is there friction on Mars?

Yes, there is friction on Mars, and it functions the same way that it does on Earth, but the values are likely to be different on a case-by-case basis. Mars definitely has a surface, and it also has an atmosphere, albeit a thin one, so there’s definitely friction from both the surface and the air.

Is there any friction on moon?

Yes, there is friction on the moon. In fact, there is friction anywhere in the universe where there are particles.

Is there any friction force experienced by astronauts when they are in space?

Earth-orbiting astronauts are weightless for the same reasons that riders of a free-falling amusement park ride or a free-falling elevator are weightless. They are weightless because there is no external contact force pushing or pulling upon their body. In each case, gravity is the only force acting upon their body.

Why space has no friction?

While outer space does contain gas, dust, light, fields, and microscopic particles, they are in too low of a concentration to have much effect on spaceships. As a result, there is essentially zero friction in space to slow down moving objects.

Is there friction in space?

Yes friction is present in space, although I wouldn’t say it in those terms. What is friction? Take a look at this diagram: Force of gravity acts downwards, force of the table repelling gravity (normal force) acts opposite to gravity, and some dude is pulling a box in some direction that results in a friction force between the box and table.

What is the cause of friction?

Friction results when two un-smooth surfaces rub against each other – if there is a force normal to those surfaces that is pushing them together.

How does friction work on a box?

Force of gravity acts downwards, force of the table repelling gravity (normal force) acts opposite to gravity, and some dude is pulling a box in some direction that results in a friction force between the box and table. Simple stuff. But friction is weird on a classical scale.

Why do particles have inertia and friction?

It is presumably what the questioner means when he talks of ‘friction’. A particle has inertia, or friction if you like, because it is bound to the spacetime field postulated by James Clark Maxwell in the 19th century, in Maxwell’s equations.
