The outward - force felt by a person in a rotating space habitat is a fictitious force in the non - inertial frame of the rotating habitat. It is not a real force in the traditional sense as it does not have a reaction counterpart in the Newton's third - law sense. In the rotating frame, the person feels an outward push, but this is due to the inertia of the person trying to move in a straight line while the habitat is rotating. It is not an interaction with Earth and not a form of gravity (true gravity is due to mass - mass interaction).
