In outer space there is effectively no gravity. However, that creates different problems: for example, people who stay in space for long periods find that their bones and muscles become weakened because there is less weight for them to bear.

Can gravity deflect your direction in space?
Yes. Gravity is the main force that affects the motion of objects in space.
Does gravity affect the speed of light?
Gravity affects the fabric of space-time. So both space and time will be distorted.
Is gravity force a contact force?
No - gravity acts across the vacuum of space - this is how the moon affects our tides.
Why did John Glenn return to space?
To assist in the study of the affects of no gravity aging.
What is the only opposing force that affects two docking space stations?
GRAVITY
Why do astronauts need exercise in space?
There's no gravity in space - this affects their muscles. Exercising keep the muscles toned.
Why did John Glenn go back into space?
To assist in the study of the affects of no gravity aging.
How would you turn in space if there is no gravity?
To start off, there is indeed gravity in space. Objects in orbit only seem weightless because they are already in freefall. Gravity is the main forces that affects objects in space and can be used to change a trajectory. You can also change your speed and direction in space by firing rockets.
Is sending a tadpole to space to see how gravity affects development scientific?
It can be, depending on what studies are done on its development.
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.
Does gravity affect the air we breathe?
Yes, gravity affects the air that we breathe. That is why it is harder to breathe when we go up high mountains. There is less air there. Without gravity, the air would float off into space, just as we would.
How does the moon's gravity affect lunar rovers?
The vehicles used on the Moon were designed with the Moon's gravity in mind. They would not function correctly on Earth. So the answer is that the Moon's gravity affects the lunar rovers in the same way as gravity affects cars and other vehicles on Earth.... it is what keeps them on the surface, and prevents from from floating off into space.
