Cen ducks live/fly outside earths atmosfere? (where there is no air)?

Question

I saw a picture of 2 ducks flying in space. How can this come to be?

Answer 1

They need oxygen just like U..

Answer 2

No, they can't.  The picture was some kind of joke.

Answer 3

No, the only duck that I saw outside of Earth's atmosphere, was in the cartoon "Duck Dodgers in the 24th 1/2 century", when he meets up with Marvin the Martian who wants to destroy the Earth "because it obstructs his view of Venus."

(Pretty funny when I first saw it as a kid)!

Answer 4

Ducks, just like humans and elephants and puppy dogs, need air to breathe.

Winged creatures (like ducks or butterflies or bumblebees) need air to provide lift under their wings.

So ducks can't fly in space and they can't live in space (in fact, a duck would suffocate long before it reached space).

The picture you saw was obviously a composite or a fake.

Answer 5

Were they wearing space suits so they could breathe ?

Answer 6

no, i hope u knew that...its kinda obvious

Answer 7

No, all animals need oxygen and flapping wings wouldn't work without air.

Answer 8

From your question I guess you are younger than 15! anyway, ducks can't fly in the outer space, where there's no atmosPHere. Atmosphere is just a space filled with molecules/ atoms. Lift force created by ducks' wings can only be generated if there's friction between atmosphere and wings. That means: no atmosphere, no friction! Thus no flying ducks in space, cuz the outer space is a vacuum one!

Answer 9

A mallard's feathers have a mass density slightly below helium and they also breathe/drink helium for daily sustenance.  Since their digestion system separates hydrogen from biomass they essentially use their refuse as propulsion, which in turn provides them with the capability of leaving the upper atmosphere and venturing into outer space.

Answer 10

No they can't. The picture you saw was obviously a joke. Common sense.

Answer 11

it isn't real. first of all, ducks aren't strong enough to fly that high, and even if they were, they would be pulled down by earth's gravity. in order for an object to escape earth, it has to be traveling at atleast 4,500 mph. its called the escape velocity and ducks can't fly that fast. they would also have to withstand the atmospheric pressure as they get higher in altitude. their body is of high pressure, and the area near the atmosphere is of very low pressure. the pressure change would cause them to explode. and because air is less plentiful as you get higher, they wouldn't be able to fly. they rely on air to enforce benouli's principal. in a nutshell, as they fly, the air under the wings produce an upward lift. no air = no lift = no flying.

Answer 12

Jeez.  Did you ever go to school?

That's like asking if humans can live underwater.
