What is gravitation?

Gravitation is the invisible force that makes things fall down and keeps us stuck to the Earth.

Imagine you're holding a ball in your hand. When you let it go, it falls to the ground, that’s gravitation at work! It's like an invisible string pulling everything toward the center of the Earth. You, your toys, your dog, everything feels this pull.

Think of the Earth as a big magnet. Not just any magnet, it’s a super strong one that can pull even heavy things like cars and buildings. But it doesn’t just pull things toward itself; it also pulls on other planets, moons, and even spaceships!

You might feel this force every day when you jump up or bounce on a trampoline. Your body wants to go back down because the Earth is always pulling you, like a friendly neighbor who never lets go.

So gravitation isn’t magic, it's just a force that everything in the universe feels, and it helps keep things moving and connected!
