The force of gravity decreases as distance from the center of the gravitational field increases. Objects in outer space are generally millions of miles from the closest massive source of gravity, which makes them seem weightless. In reality, their weight is existent, but extremely close to zero.
Weightlessness in outer space occurs because objects are in a state of free fall towards the center of the gravitational field of a celestial body, like Earth. This results in a sensation of weightlessness even though the force of gravity is still present. In microgravity environments, the effects of gravity are significantly reduced, causing objects and individuals to appear weightless.
Weightlessness is the effect that astronauts enjoy in space.
Weightlessness is the effect that astronauts enjoy in space.
In space, there is no gravity and one would experience weightlessness.
People are weightless if in zero gravity in outer space. On earth, weightlessness can be simulated for training in a rapidly descending aeroplane.
In space, there is no gravity and one would experience weightlessness.
No, one ton would not float in outer space because weightlessness in space is due to the absence of gravity, not because of buoyant forces. In space, objects with mass will still have weight but will appear weightless due to the lack of a gravitational force pulling them down.

Being in a space shuttle in outer space would likely feel both exhilarating and awe-inspiring. The feeling of weightlessness and looking out at the vastness of space would be overwhelming yet incredibly exciting. It could also induce a sense of vulnerability and isolation due to being so far from Earth.
No. The weightlessness you experience in space is because you are essentially in freefall. Standing on the surface of the moon you would notice its gravity.
Weightlessness occurs in space. Astronauts circling the earth in space experience the feeling of weightlessness.
