The ISS orbits our planet at a staggering 28,000 km/h, creating a continuous free fall. But because Earth's surface curves away, it keeps missing the ground—this is what we call orbiting! 🛰️✨
This phenomenon also explains why astronauts aboard feel weightless—it's not zero gravity; they're in a state of perpetual free fall. So, the ISS isn't floating; it's falling... forever!
Cool, right? 😄
