• In physics, gravity (from Latin gravitas 'weight) is a 
fundamental interaction which causes mutual attraction between
all things with mass or energy.

• Gravity is a force of attraction that exists between any two


masses, any two bodies, any two particles. Gravity is not just
the attraction between objects and the Earth. It is an attraction
that exists between all objects, everywhere in the universe.
History of Gravity
In 1687, Sir Isaac Newton first discovered gravity. While
sitting under an apple tree, he noticed an apple falling down.
Then he tried to figure out why the apple came down instead
of going up or left or right. In this situation, there was clearly
an unknown force at play. That force is what Newton called
gravity, and his theory is called 
Newton’s law of Universal Gravitation.
Later in the early 20th century, Albert Einstein developed a
whole new idea about gravity. According to him, gravity is the
warping of space and time.
ROLES OF GRAVITY:
Gravity in our universe. Gravity is what holds the
planets in orbit around the sun and what keeps the
moon in orbit around Earth. The gravitational pull of the
moon pulls the seas towards it, causing the ocean tides.
Gravity creates stars and planets by pulling together the
material from which they are made.
Gravity in Universe
After understanding what is gravity, let us know how gravity plays a
major role in sustaining life on earth. Because of the gravitational pull
between the earth and the sun, the atmosphere is kept in place and
provides us with the air we need to breathe to survive. It also keeps us
safe from the sun, allowing us to enjoy the sun’s light and warmth.

Measuring Gravity

Sir Issac Newton defined the force of gravity as follows:


“Every particle of matter in the universe attracts every other particle with a force
that is directly proportional to the product of the masses of the particles and
inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them.”
This equation gives the
F = G m1 m2 /r 2 magnitude of the force, and since
Where, it is an attractive force, it will
F is the force, always be directed towards the
m1 and m2 are masses of other object. From the above
the objects interacting equation, we can come to the
r is the distance conclusion that anything that has
between the center of mass has gravity. Objects with
the masses heavier mass have more gravity.
G is the gravitational The closer the two objects are, the
constant heavier the gravitational pull
(6.674×10−11 m3⋅kg−1⋅s−2) between them. Gravity gets
weaker with distance. The above
formula is used to calculate the 
gravitational force between two
objects.
Isaac Newton published a comprehensive theory of gravity in 1687.
Though others had thought about it before him, Newton was the first to
create a theory that applied to all objects, large and small, using
mathematics that was ahead of its time. Newton’s theory was successful
for hundreds of years - until Einstein came along and turned it on its
head.

Isaac Newton was born in England in 1643. As a young man, he went to


Trinity College in Cambridge, enrolling first as a student and eventually
staying on as a fellow. During this period he developed the first versions
of his three laws of motion, including the law of gravity. During his
career, he also made significant advances in the field of optics and the
understanding of the centrifugal force. He eventually became the first
English scientist to be knighted for his work
A popular story says that Newton came up with the theory of
gravity instantly when an apple fell from a tree and hit him on
the head. Newton saw an apple falling from a tree, and it got
him to thinking about the mysterious force that pulls objects to
the ground. He
compared the straight path of the apple to the curved path of a
fired cannonball. He wondered what would happen if the
cannonball went faster and faster, and realized it would
eventually “fall” around the curve of the Earth forever, and
never hit the ground. This “forever falling” motion describes the
movement of the Moon around the Earth and the Earth around
the Sun
Primitive Gravity creates the mass of matter and
magnetic energy from the Universe wide quasi
electric Aether. Gravity at our level of reality
provides the ongoing support to enable the constant
existing of the mass-density of our matter particles.
The gravitation effect, which is often confused with
Gravity, is responsible for the attraction between
matter particles. Gravity and Gravitational
Thermodynamic Effect, are responsible for all
phenomena extant in the Universe
