The video tutorial introduces a planetary competition, focusing on the concept of gravity. It explains how gravity is measured by the gravitational pull on objects and discusses the differences in gravitational forces on Earth, the Moon, and the Sun. The tutorial further explores the relationship between mass and gravity, emphasizing that larger mass results in stronger gravitational pull. The discussion concludes with a reflection on the search for the heaviest planet.
