wtf? floating is due to an absence of gravity not air!

You're kidding right?

Everyone knows you need to put 8 jelly beans in the jar to make them float.

Our milky-way Galaxy isn't excepted from the Sun's gravity.

It is the absence of air (vacuum) that creates the floatiness of the Planets.

My bagless vacuum cleaner from Wal-mart sucks the gravity off the carpet, that's what makes the dust bunnies levitate and swirl around inside the cannister.

There's no such thing as 'floating' in space. It's a perpetual fall. That is all.

Perhaps I should be more clear. Floating in space, like those people in orbit around our planet, is an illusion. The object, take the ISS, has enough velocity perpendicular to the earth that as gravity tugs at it, the forward velocity causes the arc of the path at it falls at 32 ft/sec2 to resemble the curvature of the earth, therefore continuing that path, ad infinitum, in orbit around the earth. A perpetual fall. This is a rather simple expanation leaving out the centrifugal forces at work that give a terminal velocity to the fall.

Clear as mud?

I love science, too. Just keeping you honest!

cheers

"as gravity tugs at it"

Gravity is a constant force, so, then, this constant force "tugging" at the ISS would cause the ISS to spiral closer and closer to where Gravity is, the Surface of the Earth.

The velocity and momentum along with centrifugal force oppose gravity creating a nice balance so those nifty satellites that tell your Garmin Nuvi when you should turn stay up in space and do not crash into your roof.

The ISS is staying in orbit how you say?

 Quoting: Maguyver

Gravity is always a constant, no velocity or momentum will ever oppose gravity, if it does, its moving in a straight and direct path away from earth. For the ISS to remain around earth means that gravity is "tugging" at the ISS, causing the ISS to spiral closer and closer to where Gravity is, the Surface of the Earth.
