Why Do We Feel Gravity?

Gravity is like a invisible hand that pulls you down. Imagine you're holding a ball, and when you let go, it falls to the ground, that's gravity doing its job! Earth is so big that it pulls everything toward it, which is why we feel gravity all the time.

Examples

  1. A ball falls to the ground when you drop it because gravity pulls it down.
  2. You stay on the Earth instead of floating away because gravity keeps you attached.
  3. If you were on a smaller planet, like Mars, you would feel less gravity and could jump higher.
