Did you know that an astronaut's height increases in space when they stay there for a long period of time?

There is a force, or disk, known as the disks of the spinal column found in space. They are found on Earth too, but because of gravity, these disks are more compressed, hence making our heights shorter.

But in space, there is no gravitational force that compresses the disks. So, that is why there is a sudden increase of height for astronauts in space.
