Gravity is needed for buoyancy as if there was no gravity then there would be no need for buoyancy, the need for buoyancy is to counteract the pull of gravity so you can stay at the surface of a liquid such as water. If there was no gravity then there would be no need to counteract it.
I hope this the answer you needed.
What if there is a ball of water in space and a cork made dof wood is inserted carefully into the ball. Would it 'rise' from the center of the ball towards the surface or not???

Can there be buoyancy without gravity Explain?
There cannot be buoyancy without gravity because without gravity there will be no pressure.
Is gravity and buoyancy the same size?
Neither gravity nor buoyancy have dimensions (size).
What are facts about buoyancy?
buoyancy has to deal with density, gravity, air, and water
How is Buoyancy and Gravity Related to The Particle Theory of Matter?
Gravity keeps u down and buoyancy helps you rise up
What two forces affect you when you float?
Gravity and buoyancy.

What happens to objects on earth when they are dropped?
When an object is released on earth (so it is free to fall), there are two forces that take hold. Gravity and Buoyancy. Gravity, of course, is what pulls matter to matter, and pulls us, and everything else towards the ground here on earth. Buoyancy is what makes things float. If the Buoyancy forces is stronger then the force of gravity, then the object will float away, at least until the buoyancy force levels out with the gravity force. Examples of buoyancy overpowering gravity is like a helium balloon floating away, or a boat floating on the water (gravity pulls the boat down, but the buoyancy over the water allows it to float).
What forces are acting on a sinking ship?
buoyancy and gravity
What two forces affect you when you float?
Gravity and buoyancy.
What is the force that acts against the force of buoyancy?
gravity
Do fish have buoyancy?
No they cant really control gravity anyway...
What is the formula for center of buoyancy of cylinder?
centre of buoyancy = 1/2 (y) centre of gravity = 1/2 (H)
Against what other force does buoyancy act?
Buoyancy is the power to float or rise in a liquid and it acts against the force of gravity.
What are positive negative and neutral buoyancies?
Positive buoyancy . . .When the object is completely submerged, the net force on it ... the combinationof gravity down and buoyancy up ... is upward, so the object tries to rise.Negative buoyancy . . .When the object is completely submerged, the net force on it ... the combinationof gravity down and buoyancy up ... is downward, so the object tries to sink.Neutral buoyancy . . .When the object is completely submerged, the net force on it ... the combinationof gravity down and buoyancy up ... is zero. The object stays at whatever depthit is released, without rising or sinking.
