That’s what microgravity means.
Comment on A scientific discovery
MisterFrog@lemmy.world 10 months agoUm 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.

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

Nope, is not so.

Oh, seems I’m wrong, well that’s a bit incongruent if you ask me. Since the force of gravity from earlier isn’t that much lower in low earth orbit :/

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

Ah, good old relativity. Btw where did you learn about epicycles?

Name any documentary on the history of astrology e.g. The Cosmos
