      Probably 🙁 All the air would fly off Earth and we’d suffocate.
      If the air didn’t get sucked away, we’d still have to exercise all the time otherwise our limbs would turn to jelly (atrophy). I’m not sure I could put in that much effort!
      Cool question,

      Yup without gravity, we wouldn’t have an atmosphere so we would all suffocate and we wouldn’t orbit the sun so Earth would be very dark and cold. Too dark and cold to grow food to eat!
