A notable characteristic of Elaysia is the planet's unusually low gravity.<ref name="MA Elaysians">[https://memory-alpha.fandom.com/wiki/Elaysian_homeworld Elaysian homeworld], Memory Alpha</ref> The gravity is only ⅛ of the standard gravity, such as the one experienced on the surface of the [[Earth]]. In the low gravity of Elaysia, dense objects such as individuals would not typically float, but falling would take significantly longer. As such, a person could jump further and remain in the air longer than in standard gravity, allowing more mobility mid-jump.<ref>[https://groups.google.com/g/sb118-ops/c/RScQWmOB5Uo/ My first dinner guest], LtJG Sheila Bailey, [[StarBase 118 Ops]], 239707.03</ref>

The Elaysian lowland is known for having a heavy rain season that affects the population. Typically the climate is an average of around 20C (or 68F) (Temperate rainforest) with mild humidity. However during this heavy rain season the Elaysian climate produces more rain, less mist, and an increased temperature of around 29C (or 85F) (Tropical Rainforest). With this increase, paired with the Elaysian's reduced sweat glands, a vast majority of the population is advised to stay inside during this time of the year.<ref> [https://groups.google.com/forum/#!search/authormsg$3Asb118-ops$2CBM_LXPdPAAAJ$20after$3A2019$2F11$2F1$20before$3A2019$2F12$2F1%7Csort:date%7Cspell:false/sb118-ops/N51wa9rUsS4/DodtvVBWBAAJ Vulnerability], Lieutenant Junior Grade Sheila Bailey, [[StarBase 118 Ops]], 239611.25</ref>
