I have a doubt

Like O2 expands in space..... what happens when a liquid(water) is thrown in space ?

please clarify

thank you

Look up the phase diagram for water. Under a certain pressure liquid water can't exist. So as was said above, it will boil.Here on Earth where pressure is relatively constant (when compared to pressures throughout space and other planets). We don't as often get to see that pressure controls the phase of a substance just like temperature.
