an environment in which there is minimal gravitational force
Helpful?           0
A condition in which the effects of gravity are greatly reduced.
Helpful?           0
The condition of near weightlessness induced by free-fall or unpowered space flight. It also refers to the scientific discipline concerned with the evaluation of the processes in a near-zero gravity environment, particularly those of fluid physics, life, and material sciences.

Microgravity is a state where the gravity is reduced to almost negligible levels, such as during space flight.
Helpful?           0
An environment, produced by freefall, that alters the local effects of gravity and makes objects seem weightless.
Helpful?           0
A condition of near-weightlessness that can be achieved in spaceflight, as well as in parabolic aircraft flights and drop towers.
Helpful?           0
Microgravity is a term commonly applied to a condition of free-fall within a gravitational field in which the weight of an object is reduced compared to its weight at rest on Earth.
Helpful?           0
Condition of near-weightlessness experienced by a person or object in free fall as it orbits a star or planet. In a spacecraft orbiting the Earth, gravity is reduced to one ten-thousandth (1/10000) of its value at the planet's surface.
