minus-squareMisterFrog@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up8·8 days agoUm 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.
minus-squareuntorquer@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up9·8 days agoWrong. The earth orbits the space station. Ignore the epicyclic motion of other nearby bodies.
minus-squaresomeacnt@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·7 days agoAh, good old relativity. Btw where did you learn about epicycles?
minus-squareMisterFrog@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up0·7 days agoI 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
minus-squareMisterFrog@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up0·7 days agoOh, 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 :/
minus-squareKlear@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilinkarrow-up1·7 days agoRemember 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.

That’s what microgravity means.

Nope, that is not so.
