So when the little'un asks
"There is a man in space near a space station. Since there is no gravity in space (must be deep space away from planetary influences I guess) what happens when the man pushes on the space station? can he move it?"

Now where can I find out answers to this sort of question.

Or

"Dad, if a cardboard box gets too near the sun, will it burn up?"
"Of course it will son, it's so hot"
"But dad, you can't have a fire where there is no oxygen, and there is no oxygen in space, so what happens to the box" !!!!


there must be some (online?) science resource to help us out?
