Gravity is like a invisible string that pulls things together. Imagine you're holding onto a ball, and then you let go, the ball falls to the ground because Earth's gravity pulls it down. The bigger something is, the stronger its pull. Since Earth is really big, we feel its pull every day.
Examples
- When you drop a ball, gravity pulls it down to the ground.
- You feel heavier when you stand on Earth compared to standing on the moon because Earth’s gravity is stronger.
- If there were no gravity, we would float away into space.
