The International Space Station and all satellites reflect light from the sun towards Earth. If the light is being directed towards where you are they look very bright. As the International Space Station is the largest object orbiting around the Earth, it reflects more light than anything else so it can look the brightest.

Canada is not in space, so therefore there is no space station in Canada. Canada does have an arm on the International Space Station in space.
A Space Station monitors the Space Shuttle being launched into space and so forth. And a Space Shuttle, is like a rocket they send into space. So the difference is a space shuttle is a rocket, and a space station is a building.
i went to... i arrived at the... i was in awe by the... the ... was huge! i was so excited because i was about to go into the ... :) AND so much MORE just remember that SPACE STATION is a noun :)
If you mean which direction do I look to see the Space Station the answer is it depends. The Space Station is orbiting at 17,500 miles per hour so it's not going to appear stationary. You cannot see the Space Station during the daytime because the sky is too bright, and you cannot see it in the middle of the night because it's too close to the Earth to catch any reflected light from the sun. Which leaves right before sunrise and right after sunset as the only viewing opportunities and of course it has to be in your area. NASA has a website where you can findout what's visible from your location and when

The space station is not too far out of the Earths atmosphere so they just send up a space shuttle!

Space stations that have been created so far, like the International Space Station, are not very large so it would be difficult to get lost inside them.Space stations that have been created so far, like the International Space Station, are not very large so it would be difficult to get lost inside them.Space stations that have been created so far, like the International Space Station, are not very large so it would be difficult to get lost inside them.Space stations that have been created so far, like the International Space Station, are not very large so it would be difficult to get lost inside them.Space stations that have been created so far, like the International Space Station, are not very large so it would be difficult to get lost inside them.Space stations that have been created so far, like the International Space Station, are not very large so it would be difficult to get lost inside them.Space stations that have been created so far, like the International Space Station, are not very large so it would be difficult to get lost inside them.Space stations that have been created so far, like the International Space Station, are not very large so it would be difficult to get lost inside them.Space stations that have been created so far, like the International Space Station, are not very large so it would be difficult to get lost inside them.Space stations that have been created so far, like the International Space Station, are not very large so it would be difficult to get lost inside them.Space stations that have been created so far, like the International Space Station, are not very large so it would be difficult to get lost inside them.

The astronauts wear tethers whenever they exit the space station so that they remain attached to the station. Otherwise, without sufficient gravity to keep them close by, they could easily drift away into space.
Because the space station is in such a bad orbit for US spacecraft to launch to, it takes about 2 days in space for the shuttle to rendevous with the space station. The space station was built by the US & Russians, spacecraft from both countries had to be able to send supplies up on a regular basis, so the orbit of the ISS is difficult for the shuttle to reach.
Moon takes light from the sun and it absorb and reflect so it looks bright.
The International Space Station is designed so that six people can live there for an extended period of time. The Space Station has held as many as 10 people for shorter time periods.
