Any time a person falls, they experience reduced gravity for a short time.
If they fall a greater distance, the more likely they will experience something close to zero G.
Sky diving, riding a roller coaster/ amusement park ride with a free fall component can get close to zero g. If you've been in a plane that hit turbulence and dropped quite a ways, you may have experienced zero gravity.
Point is, zero is experienced during free fall, which is exactly what the astronauts are doing when they are in orbit.

How do astronauts train for zero-gravity?
Using the Vomit Comet to experience moments of temporary weightlessness.
Where do you go on earth to experience zero gravity?
I think there is zero gravity at the Dead Sea next to the country of Jordan.Because you can float on the water.(Brilliant and totally elegant ! Now we know that there must be zero gravity anywherein any ocean because even heavy steel loaded cargo ships can float there.)I disagree with this answer because if there is zero gravity there, then the watershould be floating too!(Doesn't that go for both answers ?)
While in a Zero-G environment is there any opportunity to experience G-Force caused by ambient gravity?
g-forces are not caused by gravity. yes, g-force can be experienced in zero-g. just ride a centrifuge.
Is zero gravity possible?
It's possible. There is a zero gravity area in the sea.
How far up from the earth is zero gravity?
Zero gravity is not a question of height or altitude, its a question about motion. You can experience something close to zero G on a roller coaster, air plane, falling elevator and sky diving. All of these involve MOTION. Just as the space station, or space ship is falling around a planet (called orbit) it is the falling, not the distance above the planet that creates zero gravity.

How much zero gravity is there in space?
Zero! that's why it is called zero gravity!

Who discovered zero gravity?
Zero gravity used to be more popularly called weightlessness. It can be experience for short periods on some fair ground rides and during airplane acrobatics. However it was first experienced for longer periods by the first astronauts. It was not so much discovered as they were expecting to experience it.

Which is more like sky zone or zero gravity?
zero gravity
Is it possible for the body to have zero velocity and non zero average acceleration?
Yes, satellite orbiting the Earth in a Geo-Stationary Orbit has 0 Velocity relative to a point on the Earth, BUT it experience the 'Pull' (acceleration) of Gravity, which prevents it from escaping its Orbit. The Gravity is LESS than that at the surface of the Earth, but not 0. The feeling of WEIGHTLESSNESS is not due to Zero Gravity, but due to the fact that Object is FALLING through its Orbit. A Person Falling "feels" Zero Gravity.
Is there any space words that start with the letter z?
Astronauts In space experience weightlessness. It commonly is referred to as zero gravity.
When did you say that the zero gravity is no gravity?
Depends on the atmosphere. location, place, space and time of zero gravity

How do you get a gravity free room?
There is no real such thing as a room without gravity, but you can create the illusion of zero gravity by accelerating downwards very quickly (i.e. in an aeroplane). This is one of the tests that they use for training astronauts! In addition: there is now a gravity-free plane! It's the "Zero G" plane and simulates no gravity as it dives. It is still extremely expensive, but provides a "once-in-a-lifetime experience".
