The gravity put off by an object extends infinitely far into the universe, although it does decrease with distance. The only reason astronauts experience 'zero' gravity is because of a trick inherent in orbiting. In their case, they are technically falling constantly, but their space craft is moving to the side fast enough that they never reach ground, but instead circle the Earth constantly.

Would zero gravity be at the same height and positive gravity be pulling and negative gravity be pushing?

No


Why gravity becomes zero at equator?

Gravity doesn't become zero at equator, its value is roughly the same all over the earths surface.


How much zero gravity is there in space?

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


Which is more like sky zone or zero gravity?

zero gravity


When you throw a substance in air at what height there in no gravity at what height there is least gravity and at what height there is normal gravity?

The farther it is from Earth, the less gravity will there be. Gravity will never completely disappear.


What would happen to buoyancy in 0 gravity?

In zero gravity, buoyancy would not be present as there is no gravity to create the force that causes objects to float in a fluid. Objects would not experience an apparent weight loss or loss of buoyancy in zero gravity.


When did you say that the zero gravity is no gravity?

Depends on the atmosphere. location, place, space and time of zero gravity


At what height is there no gravity?

There is no height at which gravity completely ceases to exist. Gravity diminishes with distance from a massive body, such as the Earth, but it never reaches zero. Even at great heights, such as in space, gravitational effects are still present, although they may be weaker. For example, the International Space Station orbits Earth at about 400 kilometers where gravity is still about 90% of what it is at the surface.


What effect does zero gravity have on a spine?

In zero gravity, the lack of gravitational force causes the spine to decompress and elongate. This can lead to increased height and temporary relief from spinal compression. However, prolonged exposure to zero gravity can weaken the spine and lead to muscle atrophy and loss of bone density, which can have negative long-term effects on spinal health.


Is there zero gravity at the center of the earth?

Yes; the gravity from different sides should cancel, for a net result of zero gravity.


How does gravity affect a person's height or stature?

Does gravity affect a person's height and why?


Is there such a thing a zero gravity?

No. Gravity is a force with unlimited reach. Gravitys grip-force decreases with an increase in the distance between bodies. In a nutshell, there is no zero gravity, but there is very close to zero gravity. In the deep space between and at extreme distances from any galaxies we find what is effectively zero gravity.
