If you’re in orbit the weightlessness is not because there’s no gravity. It’s because the gravity is only keeping you in orbit. It’s like you’re falling, but moving to fast sideways that the Earth keeps popping out from underneath you. The constant falling gives the feeling of being weightless.

Do you find it fun to be weightless because I find it really fun?

widow commented on :
There is zero gravity therefore you float. You can videos on youtube about this.
Ami_awesome commented on :
that’s a good question wouldn’t anyone want to float in mid air ?
Resh@science commented on :
In my question asked why there isn’t gravity in space but then I found out there is a little bit.
Resh@science commented on :
Yufi- in space it can seem like there’s no gravity, because you’re so far away from anything.
