How does the curvature of spacetime create gravity?

Spacetime is like a big, stretchy trampoline, when something heavy sits on it, it curves, and that curve makes things roll toward it, just like gravity.

Imagine you're playing with a trampoline in the park. If you jump on it, it stretches and bends around you. Now, if you put a big ball (like a basketball) in the middle of the trampoline, it will pull down on the surface, creating a deep curve. If you roll a small ball near that big ball, it will start moving toward it, just like how gravity makes things fall.

Now think of spacetime as that trampoline. Big things, like the Earth, are like that heavy ball in the middle. They make a curve in spacetime. When you're standing on Earth, you're actually sitting on that curve. You don’t feel it moving, but everything around you moves along with it.

So when you drop something, it doesn't just fall, it's following the curve made by the Earth in spacetime, like a ball rolling down a hill. That’s how gravity works!
