There is no gravity in deep space.?

Question

TRUE or FALSE?

Answer 1

Gravity is present anywhere there is matter, because majority of matter has mass. So when they say that the astronauts are in zero gravity, its infact is not true. The force of gravity in Earth's orbit is much much smaller than on the surface of the Earth, so thats what they call zero gravity.

Objects that make up the universe, planets, stars, galaxies, groups of galaxies, nebulae are all held together by gravity. F = GMm/r^2 is the equation describing gravity. M and m are masses of two different objects, like sun and Earth, or Earth & Moon, or you and I and the Earth. and r is the distance between them. So the further away from the object you get, the weaker and weaker the gravity gets.

Summary: Gravity in deep space: YES, but weak. If you were to somehow create a perfect vacuum, then there would be no gravity.

Answer 2

There's gravity everywhere, it's just not as strong in certain places.
There probably are areas where the gravitational forces of different planets cancel each other out, but even there it's not always true because most heavenly bodies move.
If you go outside earth's gravitational field, you will float around in what seems like no gravity, but the fact is that there is still some gravity, it just doesn't make much difference. Also the moon has its own gravitational field.
Satelites that are launched to orbit the earth... guess what happens to them?
they all end up back on earth after a while you see. Because even though up there there is close to 0 gravitational pull, it is still not 0, so they just slowly get closer and closer to the earth and then they just start falling back on earth.

Answer 3

There is always gravity whether in space or on earth. In space its just less and you cant feel it. For example Pluto is really deep in space but it is still affected by the suns gravity. The sun is also attracted towards the center of our galaxy even though it is millions of light years away. As long as theres matter around there will be gravity. In space the gravity is just weaker because things are more spaced out.

Answer 4

false, there is always a force due to gravity and it is given by the formula:
F(g) = (G*M*m)/r^2
G is the gravitational constant (6.67x10^-11)
M and m are the masses of two objects
r is the distance they are apart

Basically this formula tells you what the force of attraction between two objects will be. If you are in deep space you will have a gravitaional attraction to a planet or whatever, but because your mass is so small and the distance away from the planet is so large, the force is almost nothing

Answer 5

This is false. Gravitational force falls off with the square of the distance, which means that the further out into deep space you get the amount of gravitational force you are subjected to becomes vanishingly small. Even light years away from an object there is still a force albeit minute.

The only place where you would not be subject to gravitational force would be where the forces being exerted by two or more objects exactly cancel each other out.

Answer 6

False. Whenever there is a massive object, there is gravity.
One small area, region, has no gravity, it is called G5(?) area.
It is between the earth and the moon, where the gravity from the earth and the moon were canceled out.

Answer 7

Not true . The reason is that the substance that exists in space IS the Gravity.

Answer 8

Gravity comes from an object that has mass, so if there were no objects in your "deep space" then you would not have any gravity present either.

If you had an object floating then you would have gravity in "deep space."

Answer 9

False. There is still gravity tugging on you from other relatively nearby objects. Plus, there is gravity from the whole universe itself.

Answer 10

false, there is just less of it. the moon would be a drifting satellite if there wasn't any gravity in space. gravity is the currency earth pays to own her. lol
