      It depends where you are in space, but if you were in outer space with no big planets or stars around you’d be able to move around big objects without too much trouble. But if the objects were too big gravity would mean you’d be pulled towards them, look out for any planets trying to suck you toward them!

      There is no change but you are weightless and could fly across the cabin of the spacecraft

      Over time you actually get weaker! If you don’t regularly exercise, your muscles and bones lose strength as there’s no gravity affecting you, so in order not to be weaker when you return to Earth, you need to exercise!

      None 🙁 Tho you might feel stronger because gravity is weaker so other things seem lighter!

      If anything people get weaker in space. The lack of gravity can cause muscle wastage and it is difficult to pick things up and move them around with the Earth there to push back against.
