What is Gravity All objects have a force that attracts them towards each other. This force is called gravity. Even you, attract other objects to you because of gravity, but you have too little mass for the force to be very strong. Gravitational force increases when the masses are bigger and closer. This means that the gravitational force on Moon is less than on earth, because Moon has less mass than Earth. Good examples of very massive objects that possess gravitational force include the moon and other planets. Consider the earth on which humans live. Everything tends to fall on the ground and stays there. If you jump, you came down again. Throw a ball upwards, and it will surely come down. Down is towards the centre of the Earth, wherever you are on the planet.
The second force pulls the moon towards the Earth. If you put both movements together you get a curved path around the Earth. Newton also found out that every body or object has a force of gravity, and that every body pulls other bodies towards it. He also explained that gravity depends on the mass of an object or the amount of material that it has. Therefore the sun, which has a very large mass, has a greater force of gravity than the Earth, so the Earth moves around the sun.
