Gravity

What Is Gravity?

Gravity is a gentle pull that everything has. It pulls objects toward the ground. When you drop a ball, gravity makes it fall down. Even you feel gravity because it keeps you on the floor.

How We Use Gravity Every Day

  • Walking: Gravity holds your feet on the ground so you don’t float away.
  • Playing: When you throw a ball, gravity brings it back down so you can catch it.
  • Sleeping: Your bed stays on the floor because gravity keeps it there.

Fun Facts About Gravity

  • The Earth is big, so its gravity is strong.
  • The Moon also has gravity, but it is weaker, so astronauts can jump higher there.
  • Space rockets must work hard to beat Earth’s gravity and go up into space.

Gravity is everywhere. It helps us stay safe, play games, and explore the world!
