Many astronauts, cosmonauts, and specialists have lived and worked quite

successfully for months at a time on the International Space Station, in

virtually zero gravity.

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 much more is gravity on the moon than the earth?

The moon has gravity but the earth has more because living people live in the planet.


What is the system of billions or stars held together by gravity?

A system of billions of stars held together by gravity is called a galaxy. The one we live in is called the Milky Way galaxy.


Why weight would be different on planets by talking about gravity?

Weight is the force of gravity acting on an object's mass. Because gravity varies from planet to planet, an object would weigh different amounts depending on the gravitational pull of that planet. For example, an object would weigh more on a planet with stronger gravity, like Jupiter, and less on a planet with weaker gravity, like Mars.


How can you live weightless in space?

In space, you can experience weightlessness due to microgravity, which occurs when the force of gravity is significantly reduced. This can happen on spacecraft in orbit around Earth, where the spacecraft and everything inside it are falling towards the Earth at the same rate. Without the force of gravity pressing down on you, you can float and move freely in this weightless environment.
