1141 - What is the force of gravity on objects on Earth?

The force of gravity on objects on Earth is what pulls everything towards the center of the Earth. It's like a strong invisible string that keeps you and everything else on the ground.

Imagine you have a ball, when you throw it up, what happens? It comes back down, right? That's because the Earth's gravity is pulling it down.

The Earth's gravity is also what keeps you on the ground and what makes things fall. It's always there, and it's what makes everything on our planet weigh something.
