What is gravity?

Back

Gravity is a force that attracts two bodies towards each other, depending on their masses and the distance between them.

What does gravity do to objects on Earth?

Back

Gravity pulls objects towards the center of the Earth, giving them weight.

Front

Front

What happens to gravity as you move further away from a massive object?

Back

Gravity decreases as you move further away from a massive object.

Front

What is the gravitational force between two objects dependent on?

Back

The gravitational force depends on the masses of the objects and the distance between them.

Front

What is the effect of gravity on falling objects?

Back

Gravity causes falling objects to accelerate towards the ground.

Front

What is weight?

Back

Weight is the force of gravity acting on an object, usually measured in newtons.
