Which answer best explains microgravity. A. Astronauts are able to float because they are out far enough from the Earth to escape gravity.
B. Because gravity diminishes by the inverse square of the distance if you get away from the earth microgravity takes over.
C. Gravity in space, or microgravity, is a tiny fraction of what it is on Earth.
D. Things orbiting Earth appear weightless but are actually falling around the Earth.

Things orbiting Earth appear weightless but are actually falling around the Earth.

Explanation:

Which answer best explains microgravity.

Because gravity diminishes by the inverse square of the distance if you get away from the earth microgravity takes over.

Things orbiting Earth appear weightless but are actually falling around the Earth.  The Correct one is this

Gravity in space, or microgravity, is a tiny fraction of what it is on Earth.

Astronauts are able to float because they are out far enough from the Earth to escape gravity.

Just like an apple falls to the ground things in orbit are actually falling in the same way but are going fast enough so they continue to fall "around" the Earth.

100% Sure! : )

P.S I had this question and I got it right!

answer; i believe the correct answer to the above question is ( friction)
