1. What is 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.
2. What will happen when gravity doesn’t exist?
Without gravity, everything would float away into space,
including people, buildings, and the air around us. Planets
and moons would no longer stay in their paths, drifting off in
straight lines. The universe would be very different, with no
galaxies, stars, or the familiar structures we know.
3. What is the Universal Law of Gravity?
Newton's Law of Universal Gravitation- states that every
particle attracts every other particle in the universe with force
directly proportional to the product of the masses and
inversely proportional to the square of the distance between
them.
4. Who discovered and how did that person discover it?
Isaac Newton formulated gravitational theory in 1665 or
1666 after watching an apple fall and asking why the apple
fell straight down, rather than sideways or even upward.
