There is (apparent) zero gravity. The absolute gravity in orbit is about 90% of what it is on the surface of the earth, but the effective gravity is zero, and for a good reason.
The fact is that in orbit, you are actually falling, but your forward speed is such that the curvature of the planet is dropping at the same rate that you are falling.
And the astronauts are falling at the exact same speed as their capsule. This is called freefall.

What did astronauts use silly putty for?
Silly putty was used by astronauts to stop their tools from flying around the spacecraft/shuttle, whilst they were in space. This is because there is no gravity in space, which means that everything will float about the vehicle, and not fall to the floor.
Why do astronauts have to eat out of tubes?
Because there is very little or no gravity in space, so if they ate their food off a plate the food would just float away
Why can't the astronauts use regular salt and pepper in space?
Because the small particles will float around and cause problems and corrosion on the electronics and other mechanisms.
How do they store water in space?
Astronauts bring water into space by bottles and canteens. They strap these containers to the walls with Velcro so it won't float away. To see how much water they carry, see the related question below.
Why do astronauts use space pen?
astronauts use space pen because as there is 0gravity in space ink will not fall on the paper
What can astronauts do on the space station?
The astronauts can float in the
What do Astronauts do on space station?
The astronauts can float in the
What will happen to the bob of a pendulum if it is taken into an orbiting space station?
The bob of a pendulum in an orbiting space station will appear to float weightlessly due to the effects of microgravity.
Why does an astronauts float when he is in outer space?
Because there is zero gravity in space
Do astronauts have fridges or freezers in space?
No because then the frdger would float in space there no gravity
What happens to astronauts's sweat when they do exercise?
there sweat starts to float in the space shuttle because once the astronauts are exercising in space they would start to sweat
How did the astronauts not float into space when they walked in the moon?
Because of the moons gravitational force.
Are astronauts weightless in orbit?
As there is no gravity in space, everything will float........... Because They're in free fall ........
How do you eat food in space?
The food of the astronauts are in tubes and daily trays. The food is in tubes as they will float about and be messy, as there is no gravity out there.
What did astronauts use silly putty for?
Silly putty was used by astronauts to stop their tools from flying around the spacecraft/shuttle, whilst they were in space. This is because there is no gravity in space, which means that everything will float about the vehicle, and not fall to the floor.
How do they sleep inside space station?
Astronauts sleep in sleeping bags that are tethered to the walls so they don't float around in microgravity. They can sleep in any orientation - standing, sitting, or floating. They also wear eye shades and earplugs to help them get quality rest despite the constant lighting and noise in the space station.
What are the conditins in space?
Well, there is no gravity so you float around and there is no oxygen, that is why astronauts wear special suits when they go up there.
