Can astronauts cry in space? What happens if they do?

Random space fact: crying in space is possible, but it’s weird. Tears don’t fall down like on Earth; they just clump up and stick to your eyes, causing a sting. Astronauts say it feels more like having soap in your eyes.

That’s a fascinating tidbit! Without gravity, tears just float around, making them stick to your eyes and create a soap-like sensation.

This makes me wonder how other everyday experiences would change in space. The effects of zero gravity are truly incredible.
