   What does gravity do in physics?

   • Gravity is the force by which a planet or other body draws objects toward its center. The force of gravity keeps all of the planets in orbit around the sun. What else does gravity do? Why do you land on the ground when you jump up instead of floating off into space? Why do things fall down when you throw them or drop them?

   Is gravity a force?

   • According to Einstein, gravity is not a force. Gravity might be the weakest of the four fundamental forces, but it has an unlimited range. Gravity is very important to us. It wouldn’t have been possible for us to live on earth if it weren’t for gravity.

   How does gravity work?

   • The answer is gravity: an invisible force that pulls objects toward each other. Earth's gravity is what keeps you on the ground and what makes things fall. An animation of gravity at work. Albert Einstein described gravity as a curve in space that wraps around an object—such as a star or a planet.

   What is gravity based on?

   • Gravity is the gravitational attraction at the surface of a planet or other celestial body; [ 6 ] gravity may also include, in addition to gravitation, the centrifugal force resulting from the planet's rotation (see § Earth's gravity). [ 7 ] The nature and mechanism of gravity were explored by a wide range of ancient scholars.

   What is gravity & why is it important?

   • Gravity is a force that exists everywhere. It pulls all things with mass or energy toward one another. We commonly experience gravity by being pulled downwards by the Earth. Gravity keeps all of the planets (including Earth) in orbit around the Sun. It also keeps the Moon in orbit around the Earth.

   How is gravity measured on Earth?

   • On Earth all bodies have a weight, or downward force of gravity, proportional to their mass, which Earth’s mass exerts on them. Gravity is measured by the acceleration that it gives to freely falling objects. At Earth ’s surface the acceleration of gravity is about 9.8 meters (32 feet) per second per second.

   Sep 25, 2024 · Gravity, in mechanics, is the universal force of attraction acting between all bodies of matter. It is by far the weakest force known in nature and thus plays no role in determining the internal properties of everyday matter.
