There is always gravity between two objects. If the astronaut is in a stable orbit around an object, he/she will not sense any gravity. If he/she is standing on the object, such as the Moon, there will be a sense of gravity. In the case of the moon, its gravity is about one sixth that of Earth. Also, if the spacecraft is accelerating, the the reaction force of the engine will cause the sense of gravity as well.
There is also gravity between the astronaut and the spaceship, but that is so small that it will generally not be noticed.
What else can I help you with?
Why do astronauts feel weightless in a space shuttle?
Because of gravity
How do astronauts overcome gravity in space?
Astronauts in space experience microgravity, where they are in a state of continuous free fall around the Earth. This creates the sensation of weightlessness. They do not completely overcome gravity, but rather experience an environment where the effects of gravity are significantly reduced due to the spacecraft's orbital motion.
Do you shrink when your are in space?
In space, astronauts experience microgravity which can make them feel like they are "floating" and not experiencing the usual pull of gravity on Earth. Astronauts do not physically shrink in size while in space, but the lack of gravity can cause astronauts' spines to expand slightly due to the lack of compression from gravity, making them appear a bit taller while in space. Once they return to Earth, their height returns to normal.
What is the G-force experienced by astronauts while the rocket escapes earth's gravity into outer space?
During a rocket launch, astronauts can experience up to 3-4 times the force of gravity (3-4G) depending on the rocket and mission profile. Once the rocket reaches outer space and escapes Earth's gravity, astronauts experience microgravity, where they feel weightless and are in free fall around the Earth.
Does gravity pull on astronauts while in orbit around earth?
Yes. Gravity is what keeps them in orbit. If it were not for gravity, those astronauts would continue out into space in a straight line.
Why do astronauts feel weightless in a space shuttle?
Because of gravity
Why are astronauts in a space ship wieghtless?
There is no gravity in space.
Can astronauts fly out of space?
Yes, astronauts can fly out here and there as they live in zero gravity in space.
At what altitude does the Earth's gravity no longer have an effect on the astronauts or the space shuttle?
At what altitude does the Earth's gravity no longer have an effect on the astronauts or the space shuttle?
Why do astronauts not weigh less in space?
they do-there is no gravity
Why does an astronauts float when he is in outer space?
Because there is zero gravity in space
Why astronauts floats in space?
Beacause theres no gravity!
Why can't astronauts cry in space?
Because there is no gravity.

How astronauts spend their days and what they eat in space?
As there is less or no gravity in space astronauts take closed food packets with them to the space . These food packets provide vitamins and minerals for astronauts in space to live .
Is digestion not possible without gravity?
Digestion is not dependent on gravity. Astronauts do fine in space.
