Why do things float around in space?

Professor Gizmo (Amazing Science Presentations) gives expert video advice on: Why do we need to wear a space suit in space?; Why do things float around in space?; Why do stars twinkle? and more...

When things are in space, you consider them floating around but they're probably being affected by some other large mass in space. They're floating around because they're not near another very large object which would create a gravity for them. They probably are being affected by a planet but very slightly and they might be moving towards a planet or moving towards a moon. In space, you feel like you're weightless because you're so far away from a large mass which kind of takes us away from gravity.
