A moon does not float in space because of the gravitational force of the planet around which the moon in question orbits. Although moons differ in size and in orbital speed, among other considerations, all are as it were "stuck" to their planets by gravitational pull.

How does the moon float in space?

The moon orbits around the Earth due to gravitational force. Its motion is a balance between the pull of Earth's gravity and the moon's own inertia. This allows the moon to "float" in space without falling towards Earth.


How would you float in space if where on the moon?

In the moon's lower gravity, you would feel lighter and be able to jump higher. However, you wouldn't float as if you were in space because there is still some gravity on the moon. To stay in place, you would need to exert less force compared to on Earth.


Would i float into space if i were on the moon?

No, you would not float into space on the moon. The moon has gravity, although it is about one-sixth of Earth's gravity. You would still be pulled towards the moon's surface, but you would feel lighter and be able to jump higher compared to on Earth.
