Have a question i thought of regarding something in space, do objects float in space or are they sitting in a fixed position? Also is everything always moving in space regardless of being able to see something moving?
Position and movement are relative. This means that there is no such thing as an absolute fixed position, only a fixed position relative to another object. And remember that objects only "float" when they are mostly stationary relative to you. An asteroid "floats" relative to another asteroid moving with it, but it may be moving faster than a bullet relative to a space probe hurdling through the asteroid belt on its way out to Jupiter.Have a question i thought of regarding something in space, do objects float in space or are they sitting in a fixed position?
If something is moving relative to you, it is moving regardless of whether you can see it or not. Same thing if it isn't moving relative to you.Also is everything always moving in space regardless of being able to see something moving?
