Correct Answer: Zero gravity


Solution : The correct option is Zero gravity .

When there is no gravity, it is referred to as zero gravity. The combination of inertia, acceleration, and free fall causes the experience of weightlessness. In other words, the astronauts are not weightless; rather, they are feeling as though they are since they are falling towards the Earth at the same velocity as their ship.
