There is gravity in space! #shorts #science #space #physics
A planet's gravity extends infinitely, so simply being above the atmosphere does not make you weightless. Gravity does get weaker the further you go, but even at the height of the International Space Station gravity is still around 89% as strong as on the ground.
The feeling of weightlessness that astronauts experience when in space is actually caused by being in orbit, which is a continuous free fall around the Earth.
The very same effect can be achieved by being in a falling plane on Earth.
