Physicsless part
From Kerbal Space Program Wiki
Some parts within the game are listed as having a small mass, but in the config file a flag is set "PhysicsSignificance = 1". This has the effect that in flight physics calculations such as mass and drag are not calculated for that part.
List of massless parts
Parts with PhysicsSignificance = 1 as of 0.24.2
- 2HOT Thermometer

Parts that are massless due to their part type, but do not have the PhysicsSignificance flag set
Note that the LT-2 Landing Strut has PhysicsSignificance = 0 in its part.cfg. This does nothing, and the part behaves as normal.
