IS GRAVITY EVERYWHERE IN SPACE?

Gravity is everywhere, but it’s not always perceptibl­e. Gravitatio­nal fields, produced by massive objects, pervade the universe. But we’re not always aware of gravity – only when there’s another force, such as the upward resistance of a planet’s surface, opposing it. So astronauts in space feel they’re in zero gravity.
