Question

Is it true that if we stand without a space suit in space we will explode?

Answer 1

A very interesting question. In space, our body is not surrounded by the thick layer of atmosphere that is found on our earth. We face lack of oxygen and ebullism. I won't explain the latter as it will complicate things. So in space the pressure is so low that the boiling point of our body fluids will decrease than our normal body temperature and thus there will be sudden increase of gas bubbles in our body fluids which will lead to swelling of our body twice of your normal size. Of course we won't explode as our skin is very elastic. But the body will be swollen and we will experience pain, circulation of blood will be blocked and you lose your consciousness due to lack of oxygen
