Does the force of gravity from the Earth act on an astronaut aboard an orbital station?

According to the law of gravity (force of attraction), any two bodies with masses are attracted to each other with a force equal to:

F = G * m1 * m2 / R ^ 2, where – G is the gravitational constant, m1 and m2 are the masses of bodies, R is the distance between them.

Therefore, even in spite of the fact that the astronaut is in space, the force of gravity acts on him from the side of the Earth. It is thanks to this force that the orbital station does not fly into open space (for example, to the Sun), since the Earth’s gravity keeps it in its orbit.

Therefore, the correct answer is yes, it does.
