Yes, gravity exists wherever there is matter. If you're floating in space, YOU are generating a tiny amount of gravity.

Gravity exists everywhere, even in space, but its strength depends on the mass of the planet you are on and the distance you are from the centre of the planet.
On Earth it's strong enough for us to feel its effect. "What goes up must come down." We are naturally drawn towards the centre of the Earth. Gravity on our Moon is much less, as it is relatively small. This is why astronauts have to be weighted down to stay on its surface. In outer space, gravity is virtually non-existent, and objects will move about freely unless a force is exerted on them to move in a particular direction.

For the most part, yes. That's exactly right.
Can we here on Earth duplicate the gravitational pull of Jupiter? Can we match another planet's gravity?

How is it possible to lift and carry a person so easily? I weigh 200lbs but have never tried this. Can I do it easily too?

How do you create more gravity around us. Not your gravitational pull but all gravitational pull?

You're reading Does gravity exist everywhere even in space and you are not floating but falling and just never hit ground?
