Microgravity refers to a condition in which objects appear to be weightless and experience very small gravitational forces. This environment occurs in space, particularly in orbiting spacecraft, where the effects of gravity are greatly reduced due to the continuous free-fall of the spacecraft and its occupants towards Earth. Microgravity can simulate a zero-gravity environment, allowing scientists and researchers to study physical and biological processes without the interference of Earth’s gravitational pull. This condition is critical for a variety of experiments, including those related to material science, fluid dynamics, combustion, and biological systems, helping to advance our understanding of how various phenomena behave under such unique circumstances.
