Its moving. Quickly. It is in orbit around the earth, the same as any satellite.

The word "stationary" is not a noun. It is an adjective that means not moving or still.


Why do you need stationary space-times in general relativity?

You don't. Space is moving.


How fast does the space station fly?

The space station does NOT fly. IT is in space and there is no are for it to fly in. The space station is in Earth Orbit moving at 7.66 kilometres per second.


You are seated in a train that is stopped at a station Use two different reference points to explain that the train can appear to be moving and not moving?

the person standing on the ground, the train is moving and the ground is stationary. but the person on the train looks he is stationary and the ground is moving.


How can they work outside of the space station if it is traveling at 17500 mph?

Even though the space station is traveling at a speed of 17,500 miles per hour, all objects inside or attached to the space station are traveling in the same speed and direction. Relative to these objects, the space station will appear like it isn't moving at all. When an astronaut goes on an extra-vehicular activity (EVA) outside the space station, he will still be moving in the same speed and direction as the space station. Because of this, the space station will appear to be stationary to the astronaut (Unless the astronaut pushed against it, in which case the astronaut would drift away). In the event that an astronaut does accidentally push himself away from the space station, tethers and handrails allow the astronaut to pull himself back to safety.


Which force keeps the space station in orbit?

The force of gravity keeps the space station in orbit as well as inertia that keeps the space station moving in a straight line.

What is the difference between a space probe and a space station?

A space probe goes out and observes planets while moving, and a space station stays in orbit or sooner to come on the moon


Are the chloroplast moving or stationary?

They're stationary.


Where is an object that is stationary to earth's surface moving faster relative to space?

Objects that are "stationary" on Earth's surface are moving faster nearer the equator. The eastward motion of the rotating Earth is greatest at the equator (about 1037 mph or 1670 kph).


Why must you choose a stationary object as a reference point?

By the equivalence principles of relativity you do NOThave to choose a stationary point as a reference, Any point in space may be chosen as no point is truly "stationary" and a point that is stationary in one reference frame will be moving in another.


Is the space station moving east to west or west to east?

East to West
