![]() A full article on boiling water in zero gravity can be found at. She writes the Backreaction blog () with her husband, Stefen Scherer. Sabine Hossenfelder is a theoretical physicist at the Perimeter Institute. All I have to do is sleep on the ceiling. Without gravity, it would stick to the walls of the cup and would be very difficult to sip. That’s just how things are up there, why bother. Astronauts cannot simply pour a cup of coffee into a mug. Now I’m convinced the guy who constructed my heating came somewhere from outer space. You can also watch a water balloon burst in outer space here: ). Eventually, one large bubble forms that clings to the heater. Once it begins to boil, the vapor bubbles don’t rise, but join each other due to surface tension. Regions further away from the heater stay cooler, so the actual heated part boils earlier. just like Andrew said, the strength of the gravitational field declines with the square of the distance which is known as the inverse square law 1/x2 3 comments ( 7 votes) Show more. Here’s how boiling looks in zero gravity: The heated water stays close to the heater. the gravitational field of the Earth extends infinitely throughout space but its intensity is so less that it doesnt effects bodies outside a certain limit. Did it ever occur to you that the rising heated water is necessary to get the temperature homogeneously distributed? But what if the hotter water with smaller density does not rise because there’s no gravity? Well, it stays where it is. This morning, I was staring at the tea water, waiting for it to boil. Had he never heard that hot air rises? But NASA has provided me with a hint regarding this question. ![]() I’ve wondered where the guy grew up who had this ingenious idea. In my apartment the heating is in the ceiling. ![]() Boiling on Earth, boiling in space–small bubbles merge into one large bubble.
