Why does a person feel weightlessness in a spacecraft orbiting around a heavenly body

Answers

Answered by sasir2000

Earth-orbiting astronauts are weightless for the same reasons that riders of a free-falling amusement park ride or a free-falling elevator are weightless. They are weightless because there is no external contact force pushing or pulling upon their body. In each case, gravity is the only force acting upon their body.

hope it helps....

nandaojhabpczrwt: Any other answer

sasir2000: Astronauts float around in space because there is no gravity in space. Everyone knows that the farther you get from Earth, the less the gravitational force is. Well, astronauts are so far from the Earth that gravity is so small.so they feel weightless
