If i was in space and i died would my body decompose?

Question

or would it just float around like i was sleeping?

Answer 1

Nope, you would float around. If gravity pulled you down onto another planet, I'm sure your body would then decompose.

Answer 2

i dont think so,the laws of the universe are diferent

Answer 3

no

but there are solar winds in space so maybe it would erode?

since you are in space, you are getting a full blast of the suns uv rays and other harmful cosmic particles....slowly but most likely surely you would erode...decompose? not so much because there are no organisms or microorganisms to eat away at your body(sound weird..lol)

Answer 4

No.  There is no oxigen in space!

Answer 5

It wouldn't decompose.  It would freeze.  

The temperature in space is 3 degrees above absolute zero.  That is -270 degrees C.

Answer 6

u would decompose it depends on if u land on a planet other then that u would float around.

Answer 7

Your body would freeze and most likely be preserved for ever. However you could get hit by debris or asteroids it which case your body may fall apart or erode.

Answer 8

All the air and much of the moisture would be sucked out of your body, so bacterial decomposition wouldn't likely take place. However, it is very likely that high-frequency solar and cosmic radiation would eventually cause your body to deteriorate and turn to space dust.

Answer 9

The vacuum would dry it and preserve it almost as if you were mummified. There are no (known) bacteria in space, so they will not decompose your body.
