Many people mistakenly believe that the astronauts who orbit Earth are “above gravity.” Earth’s mass is 6 × 1024 kg, and its radius is 6.38 × 106 m (6380 km). Use the inverse-square law to show that in space-shuttle territory, 200 km above Earth’s surface, the force of gravity on a shuttle is about 94% that at Earth’s surface.
