You need gravity to stay in bed, but you don't need it to sleep. In microgravity or
weightlessness, once you get used to the feeling of always falling, you can sleep
quite nicely. It's wise, though, to arrange some sort of restraint, just so you don't
go floating around the whole crew quarters every time you turn over. So the crew
of the bygone Space Shuttle, for example, or the International Space Station, just
slip into their bags, which are loosely tied or buckled to the wall/floor/ceiling, and
drift off.

What factors affect the amount of gravity between two celestial objects in space?
Not only in space - gravity is universal. The force of gravity is affected by the distance, and by the masses involved.
Would there be gravity on a space ship in open space moving at high speeds and if so in what direction would it move?
No only when in earth's atmoshpere can the gravity be on.
How is gravity created on space shuttle?
There is no gravity in a space shuttle, unless its on the ground. The technology of "Gravity Coils" which generate artificial gravity has not been developed. Inducing a feeling of gravity like the old scifi movies "big wheel" space stations only works for very large structures
What is the only opposing force that affects two docking space stations?
GRAVITY
Why is there so little gravity in space?
Because space doesn't have an atmosphere. I disagree, it is due to the fact that most of Space is a vacuum and gravity only works between masses ad a vacuum is not a mass so depending on how far you are from mass, there is either very little gravity or none.
Is there an object affected by only gravity?
Yes, there is an object affected by only gravity. Stars and other floating space debris are only affected by gravity in space, as long as the objects do not touch each other.
How do you do zero gravity levation?
You can only do that in outer space.

Does Saturn hve only 110 percent of gravity on Saturn?
Saturn has precisely 100.0% of gravity on Saturn.

No only when in earth's atmoshpere can the gravity be on.

How would you turn in space if there is no gravity?
To start off, there is indeed gravity in space. Objects in orbit only seem weightless because they are already in freefall. Gravity is the main forces that affects objects in space and can be used to change a trajectory. You can also change your speed and direction in space by firing rockets.
Is there a curvature to space?
Yes, caused by gravity. (only works on the very large scale because gravity is very weak.)
Can astronauts walk in space or only on the moon etc?
they cant walk in space because there is no gravity they are just floating
Do you float up in space?
No Up or down only depends on gravity. In space there is no gravity. Though if you push off from something then you will keep going for ever as there is nothing to slow or stop you.
What is the only opposing force that affects two docking space stations?
GRAVITY
Does volume percent equal w percent?
No. Only if the two components have the same density (specific gravity), which is highly unlikely.
