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.
Gravity is a force of attraction between objects. Weight is a measure of the gravitational force on an object. When you see or hear the word weight, it usually refers to Earth's gravitational force on an object. But weight can also be a measure of the gravitational force exerted on objects by the moon or other planets.
