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.

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.


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.

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.
