      There is gravity in space but gravity is strongest near really really big things, so the further away from things you go the weaker it is. The moon is small so if you went there you wouldn’t notice gravity as much as on Earth but if you started to get close to the sun you’d feel it stronger – it would be like you’d eaten loads and got really heavy!
