( Forces and Changes in Motion) Carrie learned about gravity in science class. She knows that the force of gravity pulls her down, and she wonders why she doesn't get pulled into the center of Earth. Why does Carrie remain on Earth's surface? Explain your answer.

Gravity pulls Carrie down, but the ground applies equal and opposite force up. Neither force is stronger than the other. If one force were stronger than the other, she would be pulled into the middle of Earth or be pushed into the sky. Therefore, these forces must be balanced.

Carrie stays on Earth's surface because gravity pulls her down. She stays on Earth's surface because gravity keeps her from floating up into space. She doesn't get pulled into the center of Earth because the Earth's crust is too strong for her to fall through.
