Bill Nye Gravity

Front

What is gravity?

Back

Gravity is a force that pulls objects towards each other.

Front

What does gravity affect?

Back

Gravity affects everything with mass, including people, planets, and even the air we breathe.

Front

How does the Moon's gravity compare to Earth's gravity?

Back

The Moon is smaller than the Earth, so it has less matter and therefore less gravity.

Front

What keeps the Earth in orbit around the Sun?

Back

The gravitational force from the Sun keeps the Earth in orbit.

Front

Does gravity work in space?

Back

Yes, gravity works in space and affects all objects with mass.

Front

What is mass?

Back

Mass is the amount of matter in an object.

Front

How does mass relate to gravity?

Back

The more mass an object has, the stronger its gravitational pull.

Front

What happens to gravity as you move further from the Earth?

Back

Gravity decreases as you move further away from the Earth.

Front

Can gravity be felt on the Moon?

Back

Yes, gravity can be felt on the Moon, but it is weaker than on Earth.

Front

What is the relationship between gravity and weight?

Back

Weight is the force of gravity acting on an object's mass.
