Astronaut Floating in Space Coloring Page

A smiling young astronaut in a detailed spacesuit drifts weightlessly through space, with a large view of Earth showing continents and clouds behind them, a ringed Saturn and a cratered moon nearby, and stars scattered throughout.

Astronauts floating in space experience microgravity — often called weightlessness — because they and their spacecraft are both falling toward Earth at the same speed. Astronauts on the International Space Station eat, sleep, and work while floating, and must anchor themselves or objects to surfaces to keep them from drifting away. Training for spacewalks takes place underwater, where buoyancy helps simulate the feeling of floating.

Coloring ideas: color the spacesuit white, which is the standard color used to reflect sunlight and keep astronauts cool. The helmet visor can be tinted gold or orange to protect against ultraviolet rays. Earth looks stunning in blue and green with white swirling clouds. Give Saturn's rings golden tan and amber stripes.

Kids can add an astronaut's tether line connecting back to a space station. Older kids can research real mission patch designs and draw one on the astronaut's shoulder.
