Gravity

Gravity is the force by which a planet or other body draws objects toward its center. The force of gravity
keeps all of the planets in orbit around the sun.

Earth's gravity is what keeps you on the ground and what makes things fall.

Anything that has mass also has gravity. Objects with more mass have more gravity. Gravity also gets
weaker with distance.

Earth's gravity comes from all its mass. All its mass makes a combined gravitational pull on all the mass
in your body.

The sun's gravity keeps Earth in orbit around it, keeping us at a comfortable distance to enjoy the sun's
light and warmth.

Newton's law of universal gravitation

Everything in the universe exerts an attractive force. The magnitude of the force is directly proportional
to the product of the masses of the two objects and is inversely proportional to the square of the
distance between the two objects.

Newton's first law

if a body is at rest or moving at a constant speed in a straight line, it will remain at rest or keep moving in
a straight line at constant speed unless it is acted upon by a force.

Newton's second law

quantitative description of the changes that a force can produce on the motion of a body.

Newton's third law

when two bodies interact, they apply forces to one another that are equal in magnitude and opposite in
direction.

He died on April 18, 1955 at Princeton, New Jersey.

Einstein's Theory of General Relativity

gravity is the curvature of space-time caused by the mass of an object. This curvature affects time: the
greater the gravity, the slower time will travel in the curvature of space-time.
