Why there is zero gravity in space?

Actually there is gravity (non-zero gravity) in space. You just don't feel it when you are in free fall. For more details, read some articles (for example, in the Wikipedia) about "free fall".


Is zero gravity possible?

Zero gravity, also known as microgravity, occurs when an object is in freefall and experiences an apparent weightlessness. This is commonly observed in space environments such as the International Space Station. While true zero gravity does not exist in a gravitational field, there are environments in which the effects of gravity are minimal enough to create the sensation of weightlessness.


Does air exist in zero gravity?

If you introduce air into a space where gravity is zero, then air exists there. A current example is the inside of the International Space Station, where the crew live and work in a "shirtsleeve environment" that includes air, pressure, and warmth, but they also live and work in an environment of weightlessness, or what is popularly but erroneously called "zero gravity".


How was the zero gravity pen originally used in space?

The zero gravity pen was originally used in space so astronauts wouldn't have to find a pen for example if the zero gravity pen floats then the astronauts would be able to see where a pen is because if the pen did not float then if one of the astronauts needed to write something down they would have to write.


How do astronauts train for zero-gravity?

Astronauts train for zero-gravity by using specialized simulators like the Neutral Buoyancy Lab's giant pool, which allows them to practice spacewalks underwater to simulate the weightlessness of space. They also use parabolic flights on aircraft that create brief periods of weightlessness. Additionally, they undergo physical conditioning and strength training to cope with the physical demands of living and working in microgravity.
