Question
multiple - choice question why do the astronauts on the international space station experience less gravitational pull? they are farther away from the source of gravity. they are weightless. rewatch
Gravitational force decreases with distance from the source of gravity (Earth in this case). Astronauts on the ISS are at a greater distance from Earth's center compared to being on Earth's surface, so they experience less gravitational pull. They are not truly weightless; they are in a state of free - fall.
