How Does Gravity Actually Work?

Gravity is like a invisible string that pulls things together. Imagine you're holding a ball, when you let go, it falls to the ground because Earth is pulling it. The bigger something is, the stronger its pull. That's why the moon stays around Earth and why we stay on the ground.
