Can Astronauts Burp In Space

If an astronaut does burp in space it comes out as a wet burp.

Can astronauts burp in space. The lack of gravity means gas doesn t rise in the stomach. If you burp you throw up into your mouth. Air is lighter than solids and liquids which. So guess where the trapped air goes.

You can t burp in space at least not like you do here on earth. Or tweet in zero gravity. You can t burp in space because the air food and liquids in your stomach are all floating together like chunky bubbles hadfield replied on twitter. Astronauts can burp in space only there would be no sound from it as sound requires a medium like air to propagate in.

An astronaut s burps are different than those experienced on earth. It s just mixed up with. On earth the gas and liquids in the stomach separate and the gas rises above the liquid. This means the gas can t come back up to create a burp.

But there are plenty of things astronauts can t do in space thanks to that weightless environment. You can do some pretty cool things in space. For example it is basically impossible to burp in space without also throwing up. Which is sad but they ll never let it show because astronauts can t cry in space.

The reasons why are kind of gross. Astronauts can t burp in space. Astronauts try not to burp while they re in space or else they may let out a wet burp of food particles or liquids also present in their stomachs. Just because in space no one can.

Or at least a burp like we would known on earth. On earth gravity pulls liquids and solids to down to the bottom of our digestive systems while gases stay up. No it isn t true. If the stomach contents move too close to the stomach valve the astronauts will bomit.

So when you burp you are just releasing gas. Or eat in zero gravity. Actually it is true. Like float in zero gravity for example.

You can burp in space. There is no burping in space.
