On Earth, gravity comes from the planet. The farther you go into space and away from Earth, the less gravity there is. Until you get near an large object, like a star, or a planet, or a moon, or a black hole. Then you will feel the pull of gravity again.

Why do you feel the affects of gravity more when you are here on Earth than you would out in space?

Because gravity is stronger with a bigger object. The greatest effect on the gravity you undergo has to do with the immense electromagnetivity from the Earth's core. There are none of those physical factors in space.


How does the space station stay in space?

As you may know already there is not much gravity in space maybe Evan none. So in order for something as large as the space station it stays in space by the gravitational pull form Earth I guess?

What particles are gravity natural?

If by "gravity neutral" you mean "not affected by gravity" the answer is none. Gravity is an attribute of curved space-time and thus everything in space-time is affected. Even massless photons curve in the presence of massive bodies.

Almost none.


Why is there so little gravity in space?

Because space doesn't have an atmosphere. I disagree, it is due to the fact that most of Space is a vacuum and gravity only works between masses ad a vacuum is not a mass so depending on how far you are from mass, there is either very little gravity or none.

How big are the machines that simulate how earth and space were created?

None existed actually, Earth and Space begin at pure POTENTIAL(situation) energy, but creatures on Planet Earth and the Solar System exist only at KINETIC(situation) energy of orbits and gravity of objects circling the Sun. Therefore no scientists are able to build any machine to simulated creation of earth and space, until they travel out of Solar System, then only they can find a location of POTENTIAL areas for such scientist to machine and document a situation that could simulated the creation of earth and space.
