Since there is no friction the bullet would keep traveling for an infinite amount of time until something hits it and slows it down. “ An object at rest stays at rest and an object in motion stays in motion with the same speed and in the same direction unless acted upon by an unbalanced force “ This reminds us Newton’s First law. A vacuum doesn’t have friction to slow the speed or alter the course of the bullet. In space, you can expect the bullet to go on and on, possibly forever, since there is no strong force acting to pull it down or slow it down.Īs we know most part of the universe fills with vacuum and this does not affect bullet travel speed. On Earth, due to the gravitational force, the bullet travels a few miles before falling to the ground.Įarth gravitational force act on the bullet and pull it down to the ground, that’s why it need much more force to continue flying. Practically there is no difference between the bullet speed fired in the space and its speed on Earth but the distance it travels would be very, very different. What would happen to a bullet fired in space? is one of the questions which kept my attention for a long time.Īfter research, I found a fascinating answer but to understand it, first, you need to understand the How does a gun work? or how fast and how far the bullet travels? That’s why let me begin with actually how does a gun work? What would happen to a bullet fired in space?

This is obviously crazy to believe but then, I was fascinated and it did arouse curiosity in me about guns.

By using his extraordinary unbelievable powers far beyond the human imagination escapes. God alone knows how they show the speed of the bullet and the bullet moving and then at the very moment when the bullet was about to hit the hero. The hero used to deal with the guns like a superman, the way he fires the bullet towards the villain.
