Q:
I heard that astronauts cannot burp in space. Is it true?
A:
Actually, it is true!
In space, there is no gravity to pull things straight down, so the gas and liquids in the astronauts' stomachs don't seperate. This means the gas can't come back up to create a burp! Or, at least, a burp like we would known on Earth. If the stomach contents move too close to the stomach valve, the astronauts will 'bomit'. I don't think you need the details about that!
