A subtrope of Artistic License – Physics, probably Space Does Not Work That Way
Is there a trope for how many works involving space travel tend to treat zero-gravity and zero-oxygen environments as synonymous? Any environment you need a spacesuit for is an environment in which you'll be weightless, even if it's on a planet. A planet's gravity can't effect you until you enter the atmosphere, at which point it immediately kicks in at full force. Turning disabling a ship's atmosphere automatically makes it's artificial gravity fail as well, and vice versa. etc.
