Which type of pull? This is still gravity, but now it's the Moon's gravity or "Lunar gravity".

Why the gravitational force is absent in space?

Gravitational force is not absent in space; it is just weaker in areas far from massive bodies. In deep space, where there are no massive objects nearby, the gravitational force is relatively weak. Astronauts onboard spacecraft appear weightless because they are in a state of free fall around the Earth, experiencing a similar acceleration due to gravity as the spacecraft they are in.


What does the magnitude of the gravitational force between two bodies depend on?

The magnitude of the gravitational force between two bodies depends on the mass of the bodies and the distance between them. The larger the mass of the bodies, the greater the gravitational force, and the closer the bodies are, the stronger the gravitational force.


What happens to astronauts bodies in space?

Their bodies would become very weak.


Why do astronauts in space experience less gravitational force than they do on earth-?

The strength of gravity decreases as the SQUARE of the distance between the two objects (in this case, Earth and person). That means the pull will get weaker VERY quickly as you travel further and further away from the Earth, until it dwindles to almost nothing. Astronauts in space are far enough away from the Earth (or any other massive bodies) that they feel almost no gravitational pull. That is why they 'float' around.


Is there UP in space?

No; the directions up and down are defined by the gravitational attraction of nearby bodies only.No; the directions up and down are defined by the gravitational attraction of nearby bodies only.No; the directions up and down are defined by the gravitational attraction of nearby bodies only.No; the directions up and down are defined by the gravitational attraction of nearby bodies only.


What would be the greatest force of gravitational attraction?

The force of gravitational attraction between two objects is strongest when their masses are large and they are very close together. For example, a planet and a star or two massive celestial bodies would experience a strong gravitational attraction between them.


What holds bodies in their positions in the solar system?

A combination of the bodies' inertia, and the Sun's gravitational attraction.


Are gravitational forces always present in interactions between celestial bodies?

Yes, gravitational forces are always present in interactions between celestial bodies.

How do astronauts prevent muscle and bone loss in space?

Astronauts have to do routine workouts while in space. This is because the less gravity requires a less physical demand on their bodies and when they return to Earth the muscles are weaker and they can have a hard time getting use to our gravitational pull.
