Question: why does space have no gravity but we do

David Christensen answered on 19 Nov 2013:

I don’t think physicists understand gravity completely yet and gravity doesn’t properly fit into their other models of the physics of the universe!

Basically though, gravity is a force that attracts things to each other. Very big objects like the Earth and the Sun have a strong gravity pull on smaller objects, like us. We are closer to the Earth, so we are held onto the surface of the Earth. If we leave our atmosphere, then we can get far enough from the Earth so that we aren’t pulled towards the surface of the Earth. This doesn’t actually mean that there isn’t gravity in space – it is just that the strength of the force pulling us is weaker there. Gravity in space allows satellites and the moon to orbit the Earth without flying off elsewhere into space. Gravity also keeps us orbitting the Sun rather than flying away from it. Gravity is there, but astronauts can feel weightless because gravity is not pulling them only towards the Earth – instead there will be a weak pull from gravity towards other planets and the Sun, so that they are not being pulled in 1 direction.

I think this answer is accurate and I hope it answers your question!
