You 'feel' the gravitational force between you and every other mass in existence.
In space, one force that you feel is the force between you and the earth. The force is inversely
proportional to the square of the distance between you and the center of the earth, exactly
as it is when you're sitting in your easy chair on earth.
Additionally, you'll also feel the forces between you and any other mass objects that happen to be
close enough to you so that the force toward them is comparable to the strength of the force you feel
in the direction towards earth.
Note: Very important. If your spacecraft happens to be accelerating, then you feel a force in the direction
opposite to the acceleration. It feels exactly like a gravitational force, and there's no way whatsoever
for you to tell the difference.
What else can I help you with?
Would you be heavier or lighter in space?
You would be lighter in space because weight is the result of gravity pulling on your mass. In the absence of gravity in space, you would not experience the same force pulling you down, making you feel weightless.
Would i float into space if i were on the moon?
No, you would not float into space on the moon. The moon has gravity, although it is about one-sixth of Earth's gravity. You would still be pulled towards the moon's surface, but you would feel lighter and be able to jump higher compared to on Earth.
Why does a man feel weightless on the moon?
They don't. The moon has gravity but not as much as earth so they feel that they have less weight. In outer space a person would feel weightless because no gravity that they could notice is acting upon them.
How would you float in space if where on the moon?
In the moon's lower gravity, you would feel lighter and be able to jump higher. However, you wouldn't float as if you were in space because there is still some gravity on the moon. To stay in place, you would need to exert less force compared to on Earth.
What happens when your in space?
In space, you experience microgravity, which means you feel weightless. Without gravity, you float around and objects don't fall to the ground. The lack of air and extreme temperatures can also affect how your body functions.
Do astronaughts feel gravity in space?
No, unless they are near a body with enough mass to have gravitational pull. For example, standing on the moon they would feel gravity (although it's a lot less than Earth's gravity ) but floating in space technically there is still gravity but it is such a small force that an astronaut would not feel it.
What anastronaut working in Space near the International space station says she feel weightless. What does she mean Does the astronaut no have weight?
It actually means that the astronaut is in free fall, and doesn't FEEL gravity. Gravity does affect the astronaut, so the astronaut will still be accelerated towards Earth. However, the astronaut won't feel the gravity.
What was it like for Neil Armstrong to have no gravity in space?
he would feel like he weighed nothing
Would you be heavier or lighter in space?
You would be lighter in space because weight is the result of gravity pulling on your mass. In the absence of gravity in space, you would not experience the same force pulling you down, making you feel weightless.

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.

Why do astronauts feel weightless in a space shuttle?
Because of gravity
What weight you have in space?
Your weight in space would be different than on Earth due to the absence of gravity. In space, you would experience microgravity, which means you would feel weightless. This is because you would be in free fall around a larger body, like a planet or star.
Why do astronaut feel weightless in space?
They actually are weightless, due to the fact there is no gravity in space. However a sky-diver would say he/she feels weightless, but they are experiencing free-fall.
