Only a little, it is microgravity after all.

[-] MisterFrog@lemmy.world 9 points 3 days ago

Um 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.

[-] untorquer@lemmy.world 10 points 3 days ago

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

[-] someacnt@sh.itjust.works 2 points 2 days ago

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

[-] untorquer@lemmy.world 1 points 23 hours ago

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

[-] Klear@sh.itjust.works 1 points 2 days ago

That's what microgravity means.

[-] MisterFrog@lemmy.world 1 points 2 days ago

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

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 :/

[-] Klear@sh.itjust.works 1 points 2 days ago

Remember that gravity is relative. The earth is accelerating the ISS astronauts same as us, but relative to their inertial system they are weightless. There is no actually there. Relativity is relativity.
