Can weightlessness in the space station be converted to gravity by magnetism?

Im not sure if this is the correct answer but its my thought that for magnetism to work there must be a magnetic field. Not all celestial beings have a magnetic field allowing for a magnetic attraction therefore magnetism cannot be the answer to the gravitational problem of space flight though it is also my thought that a series of motor driven gyroscopes might hold an answer.

How does weightlessness occur?
When a force is present to oppose that of gravity. eg > Upthrust on a body in a liquid (body in a swimming pool) Centripetal force ( orbiting satellite or space station)
How are conditions on the International space station different from on earth?
weightlessness
Does air exist in zero gravity?
If you introduce air into a space where gravity is zero, then air exists there. A current example is the inside of the International Space Station, where the crew live and work in a "shirtsleeve environment" that includes air, pressure, and warmth, but they also live and work in an environment of weightlessness, or what is popularly but erroneously called "zero gravity".
If the space station were in a geosynchronous orbit above the earth would the people be weightless?
The astronauts would experience weightlessness.
Is there gravity on the space station?
no
What propels the space station?
Gravity
Which art museum in London is in a converted power station?
The Tate Modern is in the old Bankside power station.
How does gravity affect the space station?
The International space station is constantly falling towards Earth under the pull of Earth's gravity (Just like any other object - gravity does not stop when you reach space!). However the Station is moving very fast horizontally and, as the Earth is a sphere, this means that as it falls its path takes it round the Earth in a circle - it is in "orbit". This means that if you are in the space station you are falling as fast as gravity can pull you and therefore you do not feel the pull of gravity, making you weightless.
How is gravity created on the international space station?
The international space station does not have artificial gravity. The occupants float freely and use a lot of Velcro. Don't confuse fantasy and reality.
In a power station where dc is actually converted to ac while distribution?
The generated voltage in a power station is AC voltage, not DC. So, it is never converted to AC, because it is already AC.
What is the value of 'g' where has International Space Station?
I'm not sure if it's ever measured, but it could be approximated by calculating the surface gravity of a spherical asteroid of equal mass and dimensions.Assuming the mass of the International Space Station is 450 000 kg (M) and its mean radius is about 30 meters (r) , the surface gravity would be g = MG/r2 = about 0,00000003337 m/s2 (about 30 nanometers/square second).For comparison, Earth's surface gravity is about 9.81 m/s2, so the gravity you would experience standing on the surface of the International Space Station is about 0.3 millionth of a percent compared to earth. It's certainly too small a gravity to hold you attached to the station if you were standing on it.If you're inside the space station, in the center of the station, there is zero gravity because you are in the center of gravity because the mass of the station is situated around you.Panu, M.Sc.
How does the space station flowt in space?
because, gravity pulls ISS(Inter national Space Station)
