1060 - What is the law of gravity?

The law of gravity is a rule in science that says everything in the world pulls on everything else with an invisible force. This force is what keeps you on the ground and what makes things fall down. Imagine you have a ball and you throw it up, it comes back down because the Earth is pulling on it with gravity.

Think of gravity like a big magnet, but instead of magnets, it's the Earth and other objects that are pulling on each other. This force is what keeps us on the ground and what makes the world the way it is.
