Could you breathe in space if.....

[TONY-T]

You were surrounded by a cloud of oxygen many light years across?? Granted you would still die being exposed to radiation and the like. But would it be possible to breathe when surrounded by this cloud?

That's a question only Rian Johnson can answer.

I'd rather hear what Ja Rule has to say about this.

I don't think you can technically have a 'cloud' of pure oxygen in space, but if you could and you had on a space suit, yes I think you could live for a while. No space suit and the cold would kill you instantly. Than you have to worry about water and food. Why are you asking this question?

You may experience ancient farts from famous people of the past, or alien gas

Can human lung inhale air that cold without damaging it? ( -270.45 Celsius, -454.81 Fahrenheit)?

 

[Agent Mulder's Hair]

I don't know

 

[TheRuthlessOne]

Breathing pure oxygen will kill you

 

[BEER]

I'm fairly certain a "cloud of oxygen" would disperse almost instantly in the vacuum of space.

But fuck you, I'm no cosmic expert.

Okay you space experts. The temperature of space is arbitrary as it is a near perfect vacuum. Without matter there isn't anything to measure the energy of.
Now if there was a cloud of oxygen it would begin to attenuate any radiation passing through that space. So the temperature of the oxygen cloud is dependent upon the proximity to the radiation source and strength of said source.
Then you are looking at the density of the oxygen cloud. The center of that cloud would have a higher pressure than the edges. Thank you gravity. At that the human body is made to function at 14.7 psi. You would need a massive cloud to generate that amount of pressure.
Lastly breathing pure oxygen represents issues as well. You need the moisture in the air otherwise your lungs desicate. And the air on earth is only 20% oxygen. 100% may offer biological problems.

 

[Only Here for Attachments]

I think the lack of pressure would still kill you

No it won't. I used to do it all the time to get rid of hangovers faster.

 

[My name is]

Could I? Yeah i could

Oxygen becomes a liquid at -184C. If you're in the sunlight it would be very hot and in a shadow very cold.

You might die soon

^Lol at this guy.

Typical shertard poster.

^now this guy, TS has an answer you need to consider.

Not sure if it will kill ya, but wrecks your retinas.

in the vacuum of space?
