Myth Buster #6: Gravity

UntitledMYTH:

There is no gravity in space.

MYTH BUSTER:

Gravity is found EVERYWHERE, whether you on the earth or even in space, it is everywhere. This myth was brought about through the term known as zero gravity which describes the condition of apparent weightlessness occurring when the centrifugal force on a body exactly counterbalances the gravitational attraction on it. However, an astronaut may appear weightless because they are in a continuous free fall towards the earth and float due to their horizontal motion. Although the force of gravity on a body would tend to decrease the further it moves away from the earth, IT WILL NEVER COMPLETELY GO AWAY, so in fact there is gravity in space.

Where chemicals collide.

BANG BANG!!
