Is there anywhere on earth that you do not feel the effect of gravity?

Answer 1

The Dead Sea in Israel (Asia) is so full of salt that there is no animal life whatsoever !

You can float with effort on your part. This may appear that there is no gravity but there is.

The mass of the earth is so large compared to any man made object, that gravity is

universal anywhere on earth. There are slight variations due to irregularities in the

earth and height above sea level, but these are very slight and only detectable

with accurate instruments. The fact that you can float more easily in very salty

water is simply due to the density of such water being higher than fresh water, not

due to any change in gravity. See Archimedes Principle.

There is no gravitational force due to the mass of the earth at the centre of the

earth. If you add in the sun and the moon this point is shifted a little, and moves

around as sun, moon and earth change their relative positions. Minute

contributions from other planets, even galaxies, or even people moving around.

However, since the question asks whether there's such a place "on Earth", the answer is "no".

Answer 2

No, nowhere on the surface of Earth can you not feel gravity's effect. If you were within a free-falling chamber falling toward the Earth, you would not feel gravity's effects, although gravity is acting on you. Astronauts train in this "weightless" free-fall environment in aircraft performing special diving maneuvers. If the center of Earth were hollow and you were there, you would float "weightlessly", feeling no effects of gravity, as the gravitational forces would be all around you equally. No antigravity device has yet been built; most consider it not possible.

Answer 3

If the composition of the earth is the same everywhere, then at the exact center

of the earth, the gravitational forces between an object there and every little bit

of mass in the earth are the same in all directions. They all add up to zero there,

as if there were no gravitational force at all at the earth's center.

Answer 4

There are places on earth where gravity exerts less pull. When you are farther from the center of gravity of the earth, on Everest for example, or the highest peaks of the Andes (even farther from earth's center of gravity than Everest, believe it or not), you would weigh very slightly less, precisely because you are farther from earth's center of gravity. Gravitational pull between two objects lessens as the objects get farther and farther apart.

Answer 5

Technically, IF the Earth were perfectly symmetrical, uniform, and homogeneous,

then the net gravitational force between you and the Earth would be zero at the

Earth's center.

That's NOT the same as saying there's no gravity there. There's plenty of gravity,

but for every speck of mass attracting you toward it, there would be an identical

speck of mass attracting you in exactly the opposite direction, so the sum of all

of them would add up to zero.

Something like nine thousand football players, all in a pile and pulling on the ball.

Answer 6

At the very center point of the planet's interior, no gravity would be felt.
