It's important to have your readers believe what you're writing. It's important for them to enter your world if they're going to get involved in your story.
This does not mean, however, that you need to justify everything you write.
If you're going to make it snow in Florida in August, you're going to need to justify this. You're going to have to explain how this is possible.
If your characters live on a planet where there's no gravity and inhabitants of that planet are just used to it, you might have to describe this, but you don't have to explain it. That's just the way things are on this world.
Some things need explaining and some things just need to be believed based on the world you're creating. Don't get the two confused and let your initial or beta readers help you figure out which is which.
