Gravity

Hello everyone! Gravity is a downward force. It makes things fall. Like when you spilled milk in the morning. It also made that weight fall on your toe. It even made you fall face first into the ground in front of everyone. Hopefully none of that actually happened to you.






Galileo created a famous experiment where he dropped objects of different sizes at the same time. Even though one is bigger they landed at the exact same time.

Remember Sir Isaac Newton? He did a lot with gravity. He said that every object that has mass has a gravitational pull. Bigger and denser things have a larger gravitational pull.

Gravity depends on mass and distance. The as I said the larger the mass the stronger the gravitational pull. Also the larger the distance between two objects the weaker the gravitational pull. That's why you don't fly away to the sun or Jupiter. Its because the earth pulls you harder because you're closer.

You've heard of mass and weight right? Well they're different. Mass is how much stuff there is in you while weight is how hard the planet that you are currently on is pulling on you. That means that on mars or Jupiter you will have the same mass but a different weight.

Gravity is the most important thing in the world. Why else would it get so many awards. Jokes aside without the scientific gravity we would be alive because we wouldn't have the sun keeping us alive. That and we would fly off the Earth.


That's all for today. Hope you enjoyed reading.
