because the earth has mass. Gravity is a the force of attraction that is related to the mass of an object. The greater the mass, the stronger the force of gravity.

Is there gravity between earth and the space shuttle as it orbits earth?

Yes, there is the force of gravity when the Space Shuttle is in space. The Earth's gravity is a force which continues throughout space, however diminishing as it travels further out (similar to the suns light traveling throughout space). A good example of the gravity's force in space would be the tool bag lost on a spacewalk which fell back to Earth. Also, the gravity in space seems much less due to the fact there is very little to no atmosphere weighing on the space craft (depending on altitude). On Earth atmosphere at sea level ways 14.7 pounds per square inch and gets lighter as you climb.


Why their is no air in space?

The atmosphere we breath is held round the earth's surface due to earth's gravity. Without this gravity, earth's atmosphere would disperse into space. Because our moon's gravity is weak, so there is no atmosphere on the moon.

Were on earth is their no gravity?

Well on earth everywhere this is gravity. but once you leave earth there is no more gravity ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- No, gravity is present through out all space. When you leave the Earth and go into orbit round it, it APPEARS that there is no gravity, but gravity is causing you to orbit the Earth. You do not feel this gravity because you are in free fall.
