We often use the casual term "floating in space", but that doesn't really describe what happens. When something floats, we think of an object of a certain density resting on the surface of a liquid with a high enough specific gravity to support the object. Think of a solid rubber ball floating in the water. The space station is above earth's atmosphere (perhaps there is an incredibly thin whisp of atmosphere that high, but if so it is negligible), and it remains in place by way of its stable orbit around the earth. It is definitely not supported in any way by any atmosphere with a different density or specific gravity. It is the gravity of earth, along with the velocity of the station and the specifics of its orbit that cause it to remain in safe orbit.
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.
Yes the international space station is in the tropsphere
How do what? sleep inside a space station? astronauts? i think um they just float. no i KNOW they float...
what International Space Station is the first fully functioning space station to orbit the earth.

The name of the new float-in closet at the International Space Station is Leonardo. The module measures 21-feet long and 15-feet wide, providing an additional 2,472-cubic feet of useable pressurized volume. It is intended for storage only, and does not have an crew amenities.
