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.
