Gravity is like when you drop a ball, it always falls to the ground. Magnetism is like when your fridge door sticks shut, or your toy magnets pull each other together. Gravity pulls everything toward bigger things (like Earth), while magnetism can push or pull depending on what side of the magnet you're near.
Examples
- Magnets can push each other apart if you put them the right way
