To start off, there is indeed gravity in space. Objects in orbit only seem weightless because they are already in freefall. Gravity is the main forces that affects objects in space and can be used to change a trajectory. You can also change your speed and direction in space by firing rockets.

Can you turn gravity off?
NO!!! However, if you can have an acceleration greater than 10 m/s^2, then you can overcome gravity - hence rockets into space.
What would happen if there was no gravity ?
If gravity suddenly went away, we would fall off and float in space <DEADDD!!!> ....................................................... If there had never been such a thing as gravity, there would be no planets or stars to create life to fall off of them. They were formed and placed due to gravity.
How do you put weightlessness in a sentence?
In space, there is no gravity and one would experience weightlessness.
Why is gravity important in your lives?
If it weren't for gravity, we would fly off the earth.
What is the difference of gravity and no gravity?
Gravity is a attraction, or pull, between any two objects due to their mass. If we don't have the gravity on our Earth surface, everything in the earth would float in to the space, and the people will die>.<
What makes earth have gravity?
The fact that it has mass which distorts the fabric of space-time. This in turn creates gravity.
Where would we go if we didn't have gravity?
We would be floating around like you see astronauts in space do because there is no gravity in space. Gravity is what holds us down to earth.
How would you explain your weightlessness of objects in outer space?
Objects dont have weight, its the gravity of whatever planet its on and its own gravity. If you were in space there would be no gravity therefore no weight.
How do astronots go to the bathroom?
In their space ships they turn off the zero gravity and go to the toilet in the space shuttle.
How would you turn a bolt in space if there is no gravity to hold you down?
if you turn it one way, you turn the other way a small fraction of the amount it turned (the fraction being its mass over your mass). You dont need to be held down, as you can still exert force in low gravity areas..
Would there be gravity on a space ship in open space moving at high speeds and if so in what direction would it move?
No only when in earth's atmoshpere can the gravity be on.
Can gravity shift in space?
If you are travelling in space, you would be changing your relative distance from various gravitational fields, so yes, gravity can shift in space.
Why would astronauts have to know what gravity is?
It is a common misconception that gravity does not exist in space. The truth is that in space, gravity is the most important force in governing the movement of large objects. You cannot plot a trajectory in space without understanding gravity.
What does gravity give a planet?
With out gravity planets would go flying off into space
What stops us from floating into space?
That would be gravity.
Would you you die if there was no gravity on earth?
yes because, if there is no gravity than if you were outside you would already be floating to space and you know space has no air.AnswerYesIgnoring all the things that would go wrong if the gravity went away you would fly off the earth due to centrifugal force fly out into space and suffocate.
What if there was gravity in space?
There is gravity in space. Gravity is everywhere. You can never escape gravity.
