What is gravity's effect on the universe?
It keeps the planets orbiting the sun The moon's gravitational pull on Earth causes tides on Earth, And satellites
What effect does microgravity have on bones?
Microgravity (the very low gravity found in orbit) is insufficient to prevent loss of bone structure during a long period of time in space. One way to compensate is by stressing the skeleton through vigorous exercise.
As the space shuttle orbits the Earth the shuttle and the astronauts accelerate towards the Earth with the same acceleration What effect does this create?
Weightlessness

Weightlessness
How can studies on the effect of microgravity impact citizens living on earth?
findings can be ussed to help the aging live healthier & live more active lives

Which area of study has application for treatment of osteoporosis?
studying the effect of microgravity on the human body
What causes planets to orbit a star?
By the very act of orbiting it. The effect may be incredibly small, but it is real. Any two bodies in an orbital relationship are really orbiting their mutual center of gravity, called their barycenter. This is true even if there are several planets orbiting a star.
What bests describes the effect of microgravity on an astronauts bone health?
Prolonged bed rest, massive weakness.
At what altitude does the Earth's gravity no longer have an effect on the astronauts or the space shuttle?

What methods has led to the most discoveries of massive planets orbiting near their parent stars?
Detecting the gravitational effect of an orbiting planet by looking for the Doppler shifts in the star's spectrum.
How does gravity affect weight mass microgravity and free fall?
Gravity does not effect mass, weight is what you get when you resist the effects of gravity. (Note that in "free fall" and/or "micro gravity" you are not resisting.)
