1. All objects pull with gravity. Your paper, your house, or even your hair pulls with gravity.

Why is it that objects aren’t floating towards your paper or hair?

• All objects have gravity, but there it too much friction for them to move.

• All objects are attracted to the center of the Earth because the Earth has so much mass.

• There is too much force from the air for objects to move.

• Other objects don’t have gravity.
