Gravity: Gravity in Space

The video explains that gravity is not limited to Earth but is a universal force present throughout the solar system. It describes how gravity is essential for keeping planets, including Earth, in their orbits around the sun. Without gravity, planets would drift into space. The sun acts as a gravitational anchor, maintaining the orbits of all solar system bodies.

Where else, besides Earth, can the force of gravity be found?

• Only on Mars

• Only on Jupiter

• Throughout the solar system

• Only on the moon

What does the solar system consist of?

• Comets and asteroids only

• Planets and other objects orbiting the sun

• Stars and galaxies

• Only planets

What role does gravity play in the solar system?

• It repels planets away from the sun

• It has no effect on planets

• It keeps planets in orbit around the sun

• It causes planets to collide

What would happen to Earth without gravity?

• It would spin faster

• It would move closer to the sun

• It would fly off into space

• It would remain stationary

How can the sun be described in terms of gravity?

• As a gravitational void

• As a gravitational anchor

• As a gravitational repeller

• As a gravitational shield
