  Um acshually gravity in the international space station is not that much lower than on the surface of earth, just that they are weightless in orbit.

    Wrong. The earth orbits the space station. Ignore the epicyclic motion of other nearby bodies.

      I believe microgravity refers things like walking on the moon. Where the moon’s pull on you is far less than than if you were on earth
