Well "zero gravity" doesn't really mean zero gravity. It's free fall (due to gravity). If you're in orbit, you're moving so fast "sideways" that you perpetually "miss" the Earth and just continue falling forever.

But also free fall (only being acted upon by the force of gravity) is exactly the same as experiencing no force at all, and that's general relativity in a nutshell
