low gravity

Floating feels natural

Low gravity refers to gravitational pull weaker than Earth's—conditions found on the Moon, Mars, smaller asteroids, or in spacecraft.

The term describes environments where objects weigh less and fall more slowly: The astronauts bounced across the lunar surface in low gravity.

In gaming and science fiction, low-gravity settings often feature exaggerated jumping and floating physics.
