They go underwater in a giant pool of water, it is the closest to 0 gravity on earth. Occasionally, they go into a plane called 'Vomit Comet'. The plane goes high up in the atmosphere and descends rapidly over a period of 30 seconds. The plane's descending speed hits the astronauts terminal velocity, hence the astronauts can simulate what it feels like to be weightless.

How do astronauts overcome gravity in space?

Astronauts in space experience microgravity, where they are in a state of continuous free fall around the Earth. This creates the sensation of weightlessness. They do not completely overcome gravity, but rather experience an environment where the effects of gravity are significantly reduced due to the spacecraft's orbital motion.


Can astronauts fly out of space?
