Answer 1

Explanation:

$\huge{\red{\underline{\underline{\bf{\blue{Answer:}}}}}}$

The value of acceleration due to gravity, supposed to be constant inside a small spaceship orbiting around the earth, and hence astronaut feels weightlessness.If the size of the space station around the earth is very large, then the astronaut inside the spaceship will experience variation in acceleration due to gravity.

Answer 2

Answer:

hey buddy answer is

In the space station Orbitting around the earth has a large size, such that variation in g matters in the case astronaut inside the space ship will experience gravitational force and hence can detect gravity e.g, on the moon, due to larger size gravity can be detected.
