Answer 1

Being in space means that the fluid in your ear moves around a lot, so many astronauts will feel dizzy when they get into space because the signals confuse their brain. However, eventually their brain realizes those signals are unreliable and starts to rely more on sight instead – making it very hard to feel dizzy.

[From a video made on the International Space Station](https://youtu.be/GPnLShiJ-t4) it appears to be possible for an astronaut to feel dizzy from spinning. However, for the astronaut in the video at least, the dizzy feeling seems to fade away within a few seconds after they stop spinning.
