WHAT IS GRAVITY ? |
The force with which the earth pulls the objects towards it is called the gravitational force of earth or gravity (of earth).It is due to the gravitational force of earth that all the objects fall towards the earth when released from a height. The gravitational force of earth (or gravity of earth) is responsible for holding the atmosphere above the earth; for the rain falling to the earth; and for the flow of water in the rivers.It is also the gravitational force of earth (or gravity of earth) which keeps us firmly on the ground. |
