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.
How can gravity be changed by distance?
Force = G(m1m2)/r2As you see the force of gravity is inversely proportional to the distance between two objects. So, make the distance between the two objects measured for their gravitational force greater and the force of gravity will become weaker.
How is the force of earths gravity overcome when an object is launched into space?
When on Earth, you can escape if you move away from the Earth at the "escape" speed. Gravity will slow you down and you will reach zero speed at an infinite distance.
How do mass and distance affect the gravitational attraction between objects?
The force of gravity acts between all objects. If massincreases, the force of gravity increases. If distanceincreases, the force of gravity decreases.
Objects in the space shuttle do what when they have no force supporting them?
Float. Because there is no force or gravity to support them.
What would increase the force of Earth's gravity on the space station?
the distance
What does gravity mean in space?
"Gravity" is a force between any two objects. This specific force depends on the masses (more mass --> more force), and on the distance between the objects (more distance --> less force).

What would the force of gravity tend to do to the distance between two objects in space?
probably pull them closer
What is the realashionship between the force of gravity and distance?
Force due to gravity is inversely related to the square of the distance.
How does the force of graviti change with mass and distance?
as distance increases gravity's force decreases as mass increases gravity's force increases
What force is in space?
gravity
What is a force that works from a distance?
Gravity is one such force.
How does force affect distance?
Assuming you mean the force of gravity. As the distance increases, the force of gravity is reduced exponentially. Double the distance between two bodies, the gravitational force is reduced four times.
Is a force that acts at a distance?
The electric force, the magnetic force and gravity, all act at a distance.The electric force, the magnetic force and gravity, all act at a distance.The electric force, the magnetic force and gravity, all act at a distance.The electric force, the magnetic force and gravity, all act at a distance.
The force that keeps objects from floating off into space is known as what?
Gravitational Force
Is there such a thing a zero gravity?
No. Gravity is a force with unlimited reach. Gravitys grip-force decreases with an increase in the distance between bodies. In a nutshell, there is no zero gravity, but there is very close to zero gravity. In the deep space between and at extreme distances from any galaxies we find what is effectively zero gravity.
