Imagine you're holding a ball, when you let go, it falls to the ground. That's gravity! It’s like an invisible hand pulling everything toward Earth. Scientists use special tools called accelerometers and gravimeters to measure how strong gravity is in different places. Sometimes they even use falling apples or bouncing balls to see how gravity works.
Examples
- A ball falls to the ground when you drop it, that's gravity at work.
- When you go up a mountain, your weight is slightly less, that’s because gravity weakens with height.
