Why there is no gravity in outer space?
Ther is gravity in outer space, but you cannot feel it because you are falling all the time. You would not feel gravity in a falling lift, but you would find out that it was ther all the time when you reached the bottom of the lift shaft. Outer space is the same, except that if you are in orbit and have enough sideways velocity, by the time you get to where the earth was, you have shot past it. You then fall back towards it, but by the time you get to where it was, guess what, you have shot past it again. Being in space should be desctibed not has having no gravity but as bein in fre fall, when you cannot *feel* the gravity.
