G-Forces in Space: How Acceleration Affects Astronauts and Weightlessness
Yes, G-forces are present in space because of acceleration. Gravity is weaker but still exists in space. Astronauts experience G-forces during their rocket’s acceleration. However, in orbit, they feel a zero-G environment. This means they do not feel G-forces because they are in constant free fall at a steady velocity. In contrast, during free fall … Read more
