Gravity Explained

Gravity represents the attraction between objects. All objects with mass are affected by gravity. Gravity acts like a magnet — pulling objects together.


All of the planets, their moons, and the stars in the universe have gravity.

Even our own bodies have gravity. The Earth’s gravity is far stronger than our own so we don’t notice the gravity our bodies possess.

Black Holes 

Imagine gravity pulling on everything and not letting it escape — not even light! This is the essence of a black hole. The gravity in black holes pulls everything back in toward its center which may be as small as a single atom. This makes a black hole invisible because even light is unable to break away from its effects. Scientists believe there may be millions of black holes in the Milky Way Galaxy.

Astronauts in Space

How do astronauts float in space if the pull of gravity is so strong? Astronauts don’t actually float. They are being pulled by the Earth’s gravity just the same as the rest of us.


Escape Velocity

It is the minimum speed an object must attain in order to leave the gravitational pull of another body. In most cases this is referring to the earth. That was the first body of mass that scientists could learn how to leave. Later on it was the moon. Perhaps some day we will learn to leave other bodies in our solar system. For earth, escape velocity is about 7 miles per second or 25,000 miles per hour.

Important Formula

F = G M m/r2 

Here F = Force of Gravity

G = Gravitational Constant (6.67408 × 10-11 m3 kg-1 s-2)

M = Mass of one object

m = Mass of other object

r = Distance between two objects
