How is that gravity suddenly drops to zero when we enter space?

Shouldn’t it decrease gradually as we go up?

To expand on the other points:

If you simply : “went to space”, that is, you went a hundred miles or so straight up, you would not feel “weightless”. You would feel almost as much gravity as you feel on the surface. And then you would start to fall. You would “feel” weightless as you fell, because you always feel weightless when falling, but a glance out the window would prove that you’re feeling all that gravity.

… I hope you brought a parachute on this hypothetical.
