Because there is no range limit on the gravitational force, the gravitational force of the earth is only zero in the exact centre of the earth, where it cancels itself out.
Realistically, the force is so small outside the immediate vicinity of earth, that it may as well be zero.

Does the gravitational force of attraction of the earth become zero at some measurable height above the surface of earth?
No. The gravitational force of the earth can be effectively cancelled out by some object, such as the moon, which pulls in the opposite direction, but it does not go to zero just because of the distance at any point.
Where are the zero gravity place on the surface of the earth?
For any object that has mass, there is no place on the surface of the Earth where the gravitational force on the object is zero.
What is an object at rest on the surface of the earth is experiencing?
zero net force
Why at the center of the earth the gravitational force is zero?
if four horses with equal power are pulling one from opposite sides, it will not move. means net force would be zero. same is at center of earth. the mass of earth around center attracts equally to all sides( because geometrical center and center of mass are same). so net force is zero. On the other hand if you think of gravity as a force puling you into the centre of the earth then when you are at the center of the earth gravity must be zeero
Is there a point between the moon and the earth where the gravitational force acting on a spaceship is zero?

At what height from the earth the weight of an object become half of the weight on earth?
zero

Could the net force ever be zero?
Not ever on earth or somewhere with gravity

What happens if g force is zero on earth?
There will be no gravity. Objects will start floating.
What is weight of earth?
AS WE KNOW, that there is the force of gravity at the center of Earth, if every part or portion of earth has its weight then net weight of the earth will be zero........
Why does not this force lift you the earth upward?
The upward force balances exactly you weight so the resultant force is zero and you stay on the ground, fortunately!
Is it true an astronaunt is weightless in space?
It is logicaly true but not scientifically because if we refer to it according to science then it is the gravitation that has become zero, the same gravitational force due to which our weight is present on earth.
How do you create zero gravitational force on earth?
Gravitation can't be cancelled or shielded. You can have the appearance of zero gravitational force when you are in free fall. Without going into outer space, this can be maintained for a few seconds at most.
