Best Answer

When an object in a fluid displaces an equal weight of fluid to its own weight, it will float.

This happens whether the fluid is a liquid or a gas.

No chance of buoyancy force in free space. Buoyancy is the force is due to the weight of the expelled fluid when an object comes into that fluid. But in free space no material is present and so no expelling. Hence no buoyancy.
