A perfect vaccuum is one in which there are no molecules of anything in it. That means no atmosphere, no nothing. But, that has nothing to do with the effects of gravity. Outer space is very close to being a perfect vaccuum but still experiences gravitational fields; if it didn't the Earth would be flung out in nothingness.

This is known as free fall or microgravity. In this state, astronauts and objects inside the shuttle experience a sensation of weightlessness because they are falling at the same rate as the shuttle around the Earth, creating the illusion of being in a state of weightlessness.


What is true weightlessness?

True weightlessness refers to the sensation experienced by objects or individuals when they are freely falling in a vacuum environment, without any external forces acting on them. This occurs when the force of gravity is canceled out by the acceleration of the object. Astronauts in space experience this sensation due to their spacecraft orbiting the Earth.


A sentence using the word weightlessness?
