Are Astronauts REALLY in Zero Gravity? — Well, not exactly.
Picture this: spaceships are zooming sideways at insane speeds while free-falling towards the Earth at the same time. The catch? They never hit ground because they keep missing it.
That’s right, they’re falling without all that messy business of hitting the ground.
Enter the buzzword: microgravity. This term tries to sound all fancy but basically means there’s still a teeny-tiny bit of gravity up there.
Astronauts experience way, way, way less gravity than us normies on Earth feel because the spaceship’s constant free-fall creates this floating illusion.
So, when you see astronauts doing loop-de-loops with zero effort, it’s not because gravity took a permanent vacation. It’s because the gravitational force is just barely there.
Calling it “Zero Gravity” is misleading. It’s like saying you went on a diet but kept eating cake – not correct, but sounds good!
