Yeah spas, I got a bit of a headache from what dburkhead said...But I'll just take some Tylenol.
dburk, as physics-ignorant as I am, that actually made a bit of sense, but I still have a question that quite possibly could have been answered in your response, but I'm too dumb to realize...
Say we are between two large bodies of mass like the earth and the moon.
There is a point between the two where the gravitational pulls are equal.
Would that be zero gravity?
What would it feel like to poop there? (OK, I don't really care about this answer, but ATM got me thinking a bit.)
There is a spot where the gravity of the Earth and Moon exactly cancel each other. However, that spot does not also cancel the gravity of the Sun, that of Venus, Mark, Jupiter, and the little purple ooze slithering across the surface of the 14th moon of Iota Reticluli 7.
It's not just the Earth and Moon. It's everything.
