- Weightlessness - Wikipedia
Weightlessness is the complete or near-complete absence of the sensation of weight, i e , zero apparent weight It is also termed zero g-force, or zero-g (named after the g-force) [1] or, misleadingly, zero gravity
- Weightlessness | Definition, Effects, Facts | Britannica
weightlessness, condition experienced while in free-fall, in which the effect of gravity is canceled by the inertial (e g , centrifugal) force resulting from orbital flight The term zero gravity is often used to describe such a condition

Your chest feels compressed and you may have some difficulty breathing Yet, in about 8 and a half minutes, you are in outer space, experiencing an entirely different sensation: weightlessness
- Weightlessness - HyperPhysics
The phenomenon of "weightlessness" occurs when there is no force of support on your body When your body is effectively in "free fall", accelerating downward at the acceleration of gravity, then you are not being supported
- The Science of Zero Gravity: Life Without Weight
But is gravity really gone? What does weightlessness do to the human body? And how does it change the way we live, work, and even think? Welcome to the fascinating world of zero gravity, where the laws of physics play tricks on our perception, and life takes on a whole new dimension
- Weightlessness - New World Encyclopedia
Weightlessness is the experience (by people and objects) during free-fall, of having no apparent weight This condition is also known as microgravity

Weightlessness is the sensation of having zero apparent weight, but an object's mass remains unchanged An astronaut in orbit is weightless but still has the same mass
- Why Do I Feel Weightless? The Science Behind the Sensation
The sensation of weightlessness describes a feeling of lightness or the absence of perceived weight, rather than a true lack of gravitational force While gravity continuously acts upon everything, weightlessness arises when the usual forces supporting the body are temporarily reduced or absent
