Why does space have no gravity?

Answer 1

Gravity exists everywhere in space, but the gravitational force exerted on one object by another is inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them. As a result, the effect of gravity at large distances is relatively small, compared to the force that we feel while standing on the surface of the Earth.

Even so, gravity keeps the Moon in its orbit around the Earth, and keeps the planets in their orbits around the Sun.

Answer 2

There is gravity in space.

Consider it this way: If your rocket engines are

not burning and your ship is 'coasting', then you're essentially 'falling' toward

any mass that IS attracting you. And as you know from amusement park rides,

bungee jumps, and pool diving, when you're falling, you feel weightless.

Answer 3

No there is none, because in space it is a vacuum, meaning there is a near total absence of particles which can cause friction.

========================

OF COURSE there's little or no friction where there's little or no particles.

That's just as true down here on Earth. The question is asking whether a

load of particles would behave the same in space as they do here, including

exhibiting friction ?

And the answer is: Absolutely. Just press two surfaces together, and I don't care

whether you're doing it in a coal mine on Earth or in intergalactic space, it'll take a

force to slide one surface past the other one, because of friction.

Answer 4

yes , Because the object in the space will collide with the air molecules in the space . And if it will lose some of it energy .

the most loss of energy will be near a Large structure in the space , like planets . we will take earth for example : because kinetic energy increase . so more friction >!

Answer 5

There's plenty of gravity in space. There are gravitational forces between you and

every speck of mass in the universe, regardless of where you may happen to be ...

even if you're in interstellar space.

True, there are no gravitational forces between you and empty space, only between you

and another mass.

But if you happen to be, say, in a cramped little tin can that's coasting from the Earth

toward the Moon, then there are gravitational forces between you and the Earth,

between you and the Moon, between you and the Sun, between you and Mars, etc.

And if there happen to be other astronauts with you in the capsule on the way to the

Moon, then there are gravitational forces between you and each other astronaut who's

coasting along with you.

The gravitational forces always exist in pairs, in both directions between two masses.

They're equal in both directions, and their strength depends on the product of the two

masses and the distance between their centers.

Answer 6

There is force in space, however the force I can assume you are referring to, gravity, is inversely proportional to the distance between objects, that is, the further away you are from the Earth, the weaker its gravitational pull is. There is always a force acting on you from every single body of matter in the entire universe, it is just that distance and relative masses mean that they are not noticeable in space, so it seems as if there is no force.

Answer 7

Space does have gravity, but it appears weaker in certain regions due to the large distances between objects. In the vacuum of space, gravity still exists and influences the motion of objects like planets, stars, and galaxies. Gravity is what keeps objects like planets in orbit around stars and holds galaxies together.

Answer 8

Space is a vacuum with a lot less particles than found in air so a lot less friction.

Answer 9

there is a very small amount of friction,space since is a good vacuum
