hi freind
hope this will clear ur concept about gravity
who told u that there is a 0 gravity in space. first u should know what is gravity. it is not force as u r thinking. it is the effect of distortion of space time due to mass and energy. By all the interacting object lies there far beyond the space which interacts with the energies time and space thus providing us with the affectionately called gravitational pull or ripples or disturbance whatever you call. it is just like the wave of water in pond.so as we go in the deep space now we are free from ripples or gravitational wave.and thus we can say there is less gravity. but u can not say there is zero gravity because even empty space is filled with quantum particles which also releases small gravitational wave. so more close to the earth the more gravitational effects you. the far you go in deep space it's gravitational wave exponentially decreases like the water ripples in the pond. I can say that there is no place where gravity is 0.
hope it will help u.

There is gravity everywhere. It gives shape to the orbits of the planets, the solar system, and even galaxies. Gravity from the Sun reaches throughout the solar system and beyond, keeping the planets in their orbits. Gravity from Earth keeps the Moon and human-made satellites in orbit.
It is true that gravity decreases with distance, so it is possible to be far away from a planet or star and feel less gravity. But that doesn't account for the weightless feeling that astronauts experience in space. The reason that astronauts feel weightless actually has to do with their position compared to their spaceship. We feel weight on Earth because gravity is pulling us down, while the floor or ground stop us from falling. We are pressed against it. Any ship in orbit around the Earth is falling slowly to Earth. Since the ship and the astronauts are falling at the same speed, the astronauts don't press against anything, so they feel weightless.
