In space why don't the rovers float?
Rovers on celestial bodies like Mars are subject to gravity, which keeps them grounded. Without gravity, they would indeed float in space. However, the gravitational pull of these bodies keeps the rovers anchored to the surface and prevents them from floating away.
How many Mars rovers are there?
There are two Mars rovers, named Spirit and Opportunity. There's obviously "Curiosity" now too. In fact Spirit doesn't work anymore, so there are still two Mars rovers working.
What are the names of the two rovers now exploring mars?
The names of the two rovers exploring Mars are Spirit and Opportunity.

What are the Mars Pathfinder Rovers?
The Mars Pathfinder mission included a lander named Sojourner and a rover named Sojourner as well. The rover explored the surface of Mars and conducted scientific experiments. It was the first rover to be successfully deployed on Mars.
Does Gravity act on the mars rover?
Yes, gravity does act on the Mars Rovers. On Mars, the gravity on the surface is 39% as strong as it is on Earth. This is also about the same amount on Mercury. A man weighing 200 pounds on Earth (or 440 kg) would weigh 78 pounds on Mars (171.6 kg). The six wheels the rovers have push the rovers around, they just don't have to work as hard to overcome the weak Martian gravity.
