Gravity is not a concept that can be quantified, so it isn't possible to say how much there is anywhere.

But every body in space attracts every other body. The good thing is that all these attractions stay separate and usually there is only one force that is stronger than all the rest. Where we are the major force comes from the Earth, which is noticed when you drop a rock on your foot or jump off a table (don't try this at home).

Why gravity warp space time?

Einstein thought that bent space time explains much, and he is very smart.


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.


Is there another place in outer space that has gravity?

Yes, every planet and every star has gravity. In fact, every object that has mass, has gravity. Black holes have so much gravity that even light cannot escape.


Why would astronauts have to know what gravity is?

It is a common misconception that gravity does not exist in space. The truth is that in space, gravity is the most important force in governing the movement of large objects. You cannot plot a trajectory in space without understanding gravity.


Does space has gravity?

Yes, space itself does not have gravity as it is a vacuum. However, massive objects like stars and planets create gravity due to their mass. This gravity causes objects to be attracted towards them in space.

Zero! that's why it is called zero gravity!


What is the gravity on space?

The strength of gravity at any point in space will vary depending on what objects are present, how far away they are, and how much mass they have.

Why do have gravity on earth and not in space?

There is gravity in space. It intensifies as you approach a mass.


Is gravity in space?

gravity is everywhere


Why is there so much gravity in blackholes but so little gravity in space?

Black holes are the dead remnants of super massive stars that have collapsed in on them selves. The nuclear force that counteracts gravity is no longer present and gravity takes over. The mass is squeezed into an infinitesimally space which deforms the fabric of space so much that anything venturing into the event horizon is lost forever. Interplanetary or interstellar space has no gravity because there is no mass exerting a gravitational force on anything.A2 Remember, gravity is a property of Mass (matter). No mass, no gravity.A black hole has absorbed huge quantities of matter, therefore huge gravity.


How do gravity and weight link to space?

Why is space not like earth?

Earth: Space: - is a planet - No gravity - supports life - Vaccum - gravity - No gravity or atmosphere - atmosphere


Why can things float in space?

What is gravity distortion?

Gravity bends space, and because light travels through space gravity distorts light. Actually, gravity warps spacetime, so just as space is bent, so is time. Gravity thus distorts both space and time.
