Mount Everest is located in the Himalayas, the 1500 mile (2414 kilometer) long mountain range that was formed when the Indo-Australian plate crashed into the Eurasian plate. It is surrounded by a number of peaks, including Lhotse, (27,940 feet/8,516 meters); Nuptse, (25,771 feet/7,855 meters); and Changtobse, (24,870 feet/7,580 meters).
Gravity is what holds the planets in orbit around the sun and what keeps the moon in orbit around Earth. The gravitational pull of the moon pulls the seas towards it, causing the ocean tides. Gravity creates stars and planets by pulling together the material from which they are made.
Jun 29, 2014. Gravity always pulls an object toward earth with an acceleration of 9.8#m/s^2#. This is assuming that you are on earth. No matter what. Even though this is the standard acceleration due to gravity there are minor variations due to altitude and latitude. The further you are away from the centre of earth (altitude) the lower the value of the acceleration will be.
