Living in Microgravity
















               Morning Routine in Space






                      Astronauts begin their day like people on Earth. They



               get up, brush their teeth, and have breakfast. But in space,


                                                                               n. physical or mental energy that you need to do something
                                                                                                               effort
               these activities take a little extra effort because of


               microgravity
               microgravity.


               n. very weak gravity which causes weightlessness
                                                                                                                                                                             Check


                                                 Why do astronauts need more effort to do daily activities in space than on

                                                 Earth?

                                                 The reason is that they live in microgravity. / There is less gravity in space. /

                                                 It has to do with microgravity.
