The
fire cannot be ignited in oxygen-free space, but a gun can fire bullets
into space, where modern ammunition has its own oxidizer, a chemical ignited by
gunpowder, and can be fired anywhere in the universe even if it is not contain
oxygen, but the shape of the smoke coming out after the bullet differs in
space.
Imagine
that you float freely in the intergalactic spaces, just you and your gun and
one bullet, and then you fire this bullet what will happen?
Newton's
third law: If an object a exerts a force on object B, then object B must
exert a force of equal magnitude and opposite direction back on object A.
So According
to Newton's third law, the force used to fire the bullet will generate other
equal forces opposed to it. A few per second because your mass is larger than
the bullet.
But what
will happen to the bullet?
Don't
wonder about the bullet's fate in space. The bullet will be in near space,
making it stop completely after 10 million light-years.
But beware
you may kill yourself!
Yes, you
can kill yourself in space the bullet was fired horizontally when you are in
the orbit of a planet where things revolve around it and which is in a constant
state of free fall, it will orbit the planet to return to the place where it
was launched. Where you can settle in your back!
