While in space, astronauts don’t experience the force of gravity.

Gravity is what we have here on earth and so once an orbiting satellite reaches space, it will appear to feel weightless to who is inside the spacecraft. This is the reasoning behind that “no weight” feeling.

Have a great night and happy studying!
