Yes, magnets would still work in space to attract or repel objects even without the presence of gravity. Magnets create a magnetic field that can interact with other magnetic materials regardless of the presence of gravity.

Yes, magnets would still work in the absence of gravity. The force generated by magnets, known as the magnetic force, would still attract or repel objects based on their polarity, regardless of the presence of gravity.
In space, magnets work the same way as on Earth by creating a magnetic field. In a zero-gravity environment, magnets can attract or repel objects with magnetic properties, but the effects may be different due to the absence of gravity. Objects may move more freely and unpredictably in zero gravity when influenced by magnetic fields.
Gravity attracts objects.
Wood, plastic, and glass are three objects that typically do not attract magnets because they are not made of materials such as iron, nickel, or cobalt that are attracted to magnets.
Magnets can attract objects by pulling them towards each other, and repel objects by pushing them away. This is due to the magnetic field produced by the magnet interacting with the magnetic properties of the objects.
