What is Gravity?

Gravity isn’t just a force; it’s like an invisible hand that pulls everything toward each other. Imagine you’re at a party, and everyone is holding a balloon. The more people there are, the more balloons get pulled together, right? That's kind of how gravity works with objects in space. Now, let’s connect that party to gravity. Every object, big or small, has gravity. Earth, being huge, has a strong pull, which is why we stick to the ground. Here’s how it plays out: 1. Everything with mass (like Earth, the Moon, or even you) pulls on everything else. 2. The strength of this pull depends on two things: how big the objects are and how far apart they are. Bigger objects pull harder, and the closer they are, the stronger the pull. 3. This is why planets orbit around the Sun. The Sun is massive, so it pulls on the planets, keeping them in their paths. Gravity matters because it keeps our world stable. It makes sure we don’t float away and helps govern how everything in the universe moves. It’s also what makes things fall when you drop them! Does that make sense? Want me to dive deeper into how gravity affects space travel or anything else?
