When you are in orbit you experience a state that is called "zero gravity" or "microgravity" but gravity still affects your motion. An object in orbit is essentially in freefall. A satellite orbiting Earth, for example, is constantly being pulled toward Earth by gravity but it is moving "sideways" so fast that it follows a curved path that misses Earth entirely. The principle applies to any object in orbit.

What is one impossible thing to do in zero gravity?
There is no up or down, as it is no longer relative, therefore the one thing you cannot do in zero gravity is 'fall down.' -Michael Carew
What does the term zero gravity mean?
No Gravity.
How do you get a gravity free room?
There is no real such thing as a room without gravity, but you can create the illusion of zero gravity by accelerating downwards very quickly (i.e. in an aeroplane). This is one of the tests that they use for training astronauts! In addition: there is now a gravity-free plane! It's the "Zero G" plane and simulates no gravity as it dives. It is still extremely expensive, but provides a "once-in-a-lifetime experience".
How can you create zero gravity?
There is no place in the universe that has zero gravity. No matter where you are some type of gravitational force is acting upon you. So there is no way to create zero gravity even in the vastness of space.
Where the gravity is zero?
do you mean where is zero gravity? if so it is all in space and sometimes at science places such as a lab where scientist study zero gravity. to me that stuff is awesome you can float in the air and stuff its awesome.
Why do thing float in air?
Only in zero gravity
What is one impossible thing to do in zero gravity?
There is no up or down, as it is no longer relative, therefore the one thing you cannot do in zero gravity is 'fall down.' -Michael Carew
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.
How many miles from the surface of the earth to zero gravity?
There isn`t anyplace with zero gravity. Every thing in the universe has an amout of gravity excerting to all masses. Although it may be minute it still exists.
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 did you say that the zero gravity is no gravity?
Depends on the atmosphere. location, place, space and time of zero gravity
Is zero gravity possible?
It's possible. There is a zero gravity area in the sea.
What does the term zero gravity mean?
No 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.
When was Zero Gravity Amusement Park created?
Zero Gravity Amusement Park was created in 1992.
When was Zero Gravity Research Facility created?
Zero Gravity Research Facility was created in 1966.
