Do astronauts in orbit around the earth experience the same gravitational force as they do on ground?

Yes, but they do not "feel" gravity, because they are falling - "free fall" in orbit around the Earth.


What is the force of gravity at a NASA liftoff?

Like everywhere else on the surface of the Earth, the force of gravity is 9.8 Nkg-1. The astronauts on the Shuttle lift-off experience a gravitational-pull "G-Force" of not more than 3-g's (acceleration 29.4 m/s²) but astronauts train for up to 6-g's.


What types of objects experience gravitational forces?

All objects on Earth experience gravitational force to a certain degree. Earth's atmosphere grants it's objects a great gravitational force.+++"All objects throughout the Universe experience gravitational force... " Not just on Earth. The Earth's orbit around the Sun is a function of the Earth's velocity and the Sun's gravity.The Earth's atmosphere does NOT "grant" any gravitational force of its objects (whatever those may be), but is itself subject to the gravity of the planet; hence both it still being here, and exerting a mean pressure of I Bar (by definition) or 100kPa at sea-level.


What keeps astronauts from being pulled by the earths gravitational force?

Nothing keeps them from being pulled. Earth's gravity certainly pulls on them.


What is the gravitational force that earth has?

Well.................. the gravitational force of earth exerts a force of 9.8m/s squared.


What is the diffenerce of earth and space?

There is oxygen and gravitational force on earth but there is no oxygen and gravitational force


What is the relationship between Earth and gravitational force?

Earth has gravity or gravitational force that attracts the moon to the Earth.


What causes astronauts to become weighless?

the absence of the gravitational force or field in space causes the astronauts to become weightless


Why do astronauts experience less gravitational force?

They don't. They have just as much gravitational force on them as you and me. The difference is the two initial frames of reference. You and I are being held down to planet. They are "falling" around the planet in an orbital free fall.


Is gravitational force is stronger or weaker?

Gravitational force of the moon is 1/6th the gravitational force of the Earth. The larger the object, the greater gravitational force it will have.


Does the gravitational force vary with the distance between earth and sun?

The gravitational force between the Earth and sun certainly depends on the distance between the Earth and sun. But the gravitational force between, for example, the Earth and me does not.


How did the astronauts not float into space when they walked in the moon?

Because of the moons gravitational force.
