Zero! that's why it is called zero gravity!

What is gravity distortion?

Gravity bends space, and because light travels through space gravity distorts light. Actually, gravity warps spacetime, so just as space is bent, so is time. Gravity thus distorts both space and time.


Why is acceleration due to gravity zero at the centre of the Earth?

Acceleration due to the earth's gravity is zero at the center of the Earth because at that point the mass of the earth is equally distributed in all directions, so pulling equally in all directions for a net zero pull. Simplistically, acceleration due to gravity decreases as distance from the center decreases. At the center the distance is zero, hence gravity is zero.


Why you are weightless in the center of the earth but not in the middle of outer space?

In the center of the Earth, the gravitational forces from all directions cancel each other out, resulting in a net zero gravitational force, making you weightless. In outer space, there is no surrounding mass or gravity pulling on you, so there is no force acting on you to counteract your weight, leading to a sensation of weightlessness.


What are some ways to experience weightlessness?

You can experience weightlessness by taking a parabolic flight, where the plane rapidly ascends and descends to create short periods of simulated zero gravity. Another option is to visit an astronaut training center where they offer zero-gravity simulators. Lastly, space tourism companies like SpaceX and Blue Origin are developing commercial trips to space where passengers can experience weightlessness.


Can birds breathe in space?

There have been experiments done with live birds in zero gravity. Still they can fly but lose orientation.
