      Um acshually gravity in the international space station is not that much lower than on the surface of earth, just that they are weightless in orbit.

        Wrong. The earth orbits the space station. Ignore the epicyclic motion of other nearby bodies.

          I believe microgravity refers things like walking on the moon. Where the moon’s pull on you is far less than than if you were on earth

              Oh, seems I’m wrong, well that’s a bit incongruent if you ask me. Since the force of gravity from earlier isn’t that much lower in low earth orbit :/

                Remember that gravity is relative. The earth is accelerating the ISS astronauts same as us, but relative to their inertial system they are weightless. There is no actually there. Relativity is relativity.
