      I think he meant how many times the force of earths gravity would be felt if you were in the same place as the probe. Sadly the answer is easy its 0 due to its speed. But if stationary it would be millions more than earth but you would fall right through as there isnt a solid surface to stand on

      Water by definition is not wet.
      Wetness is a scientific definition, the degree at which a liquid state of matter adheres to a solid state of matter.
      Water being the liquid has no implicit wetness, but in contact with certain solids may display a certain degree of wetness.

    • @localreviewking134
      @localreviewking134 17 днів тому +1

      GOOGLE says; Water's "wetness" depends on being a liquid, which relies on cohesive forces that make it adhere to surfaces. In space, the lack of gravity changes how water behaves. Instead of forming drops and clinging to surfaces like on Earth, water in a microgravity environment forms floating blobs due to surface tension. So, while the nature of water doesn’t change, its interaction with surfaces is different in space.
      In short, water is still wet in space, but how it behaves is quite extraordinary and fascinating!

    Technically, there is no gravitational "pull" from the Sun, or anything for that matter. Gravity is the curvature of spacetime caused by all objects with mass. This curvature makes objects come together, hence why light, which has no mass can be affected by gravity. I'm guessing this isn't what the presenter meant though when he asked his really insightful question.
