The force that keeps the Earth and all of the planets in line in the proper position in their orbits around the sun. The force that propels a toddler down a slide. The force that causes the moon to revolve around the Earth. The force that keeps Jupiter’s moons located around the planet.
Just so, how do you explain gravity to a child?
Consequently, what is the gravity on Earth?
You actually exert a gravitational force on the Earth, but because your mass is many times smaller than the Earth’s mass, your pull is much less than the Earth’s. Gravity is measured as how fast objects accelerate towards each other. The average gravitational pull of the Earth is 9.8 meters per second squared (m/s2).
What would happen without gravity?
Humans and other objects will become weightless without gravity. If we have no gravity force, the atmosphere would disappear into space, the moon would collide with the earth, the earth would stop rotating, we would all feel weightless, the earth would collide with the sun, and as a consequence. We would all perish.
