    Will time pass faster or slower in space than on Earth?

    This problem involves the time dilation effect of relativity. The rate of time passing in different frames of reference is not exactly the same, time is relative. Astronauts move at high speed relative to the ground in space, and they are farther from the center of the earth, and they experience weaker gravitational effects than on the ground, so astronauts in space experience different rates of time passing than people on the ground.
