Do magnets work in space?

Real speak.

I actually looked into this back in the summer. It’s fairly confusing when you really get into it.

Magnets and how they work in space

I think the real question should be, do they work the same? Meaning, is the pull exactly the same between two magnets in space, as it is on earth? Or more since there's no gravity or atmosphere? Or less somehow?

 

[Joe King]

Of course they work the same. Why wouldn't they?

Why would they? Idk.

some magnets would work better, due to the cold

 

[Joe King]

How? Richard can explain it to ya.

 

[Joe King]

Why would they? Idk.

A better question is, what could possibly keep them from working? Long as they'll work within the atmosphere, there is no reason that they wouldn't work outside of the atmosphere.

Except it's the opposite atmosphere.

Atmosphere plays no role in the operation of magnets though.

Go to harbor freight and get'cha a vacuum pump and chamber and test it for yourself.
