If you had a 50kg weight on Earth, it would weigh ~zero on the space station. It would still have a mass of 50kg--meaning it would difficult to move, and hurt very bad if it wumped you on the head, but placed on a scale, it would show 0.
Likewise, if you had that 50kg weight and a scale on an elevator here on Earth, the scale would read 50kg. Say at the top of a 100 floor building, the elevator's cable and safety devices broke and the elevator, you, the 50kg weight and the scale were all in free fall. For a very short time, the 50kg weight would weigh zero. You would weigh zero. The scale would weigh zero.
Until the elevator hit the ground.

Does zero gravity possible on earth?
No.
Is it gravity in center of earth ZERO?
Yes. At least, the gravity resulting from planet Earth.
Is there zero gravity at the center of the earth?
Yes; the gravity from different sides should cancel, for a net result of zero gravity.
Is earth's gravity the same on the surface as it is in the center of the earth?
No. At the centre of the earth the acceleration due to gravity is ZERO
Why their is a zero gravity in moon?
There is not zero gravity on the moon. Any object with mass has gravity (even a cotton ball). However, the more dense and more massive an object, the larger its gravitational pull. This is why, even though a tennis ball does have gravity, it has no effect in relation to the gravity of the Earth. The Moon has something like 1/6th of the Earth's, so if you weighed sixty pounds on Earth (eat something!) you would only weigh 10 on the Moon.
Why is acceleration due to gravity zero at the centre of the Earth?
Acceleration due to the earth's gravity is zero at the center of the Earth because at that point the mass of the earth is equally distributed in all directions, so pulling equally in all directions for a net zero pull. Simplistically, acceleration due to gravity decreases as distance from the center decreases. At the center the distance is zero, hence gravity is zero.
Where can you exprece zero gravity?
when object fall free like at centre of earth that we call freefall with zero gravity.
Does the earth atmosphere protect us from zero gravity?
No
Where is the closest zero gravity place?
There is no "zero gravity" place. Gravity permeates all the universe. Astronauts in orbit are often said to be in zero gravity but they are, in reality, on a position where their orbital velocity balances the attraction of the Earth.
How much is the gravity at the center of the earth and in which direction is it pulling?
The gravity at the centre of the Earth (due to the Eath's mass) is Zero.
How many pounds does a 2 ton bus weigh with no gravity?
A two-ton bus would have zero weight in zero gravity, since weight is dependent on the force of gravity. However, gravity has an infinite range, so gravity would only actually be zero at an infinite distance from the source of the gravity.
How can zero gravity be achieved?
Yes, zero gravity can be achieved. This is possible byorbiting around the earthflying in vomit cometgoing to the center of the earth
