What Is Gravity?

So what is gravity? A downward force? Yeah, something that stops you from flying away. Well, it keeps me on the Earth. I— it just— I don't fly away. It's this indescribable thing that kind of keeps us from flying off into space. Is it what's keeping me on the ground? Isn't that gravity?

Gravity is that which keeps us constant. I presume on this particular globe, gravity would be the natural tendency for things to move towards massive objects like the Earth. I suppose it would be the largest mass, or the most powerful mass, which is what the Sun is. So the Sun affects all the other planets, pulling them around.

What is gravity? Gravity is the force that attracts the Moon to the Earth. It actually attracts the smaller planets to the bigger ones. I'm thinking, 'cause this is the Moon and this is obviously the King, it's affecting it. It's pulling it 'cause the Earth is bigger; it has a gravitational pull, like the Moon has a gravitational pull towards the Earth.

I know it's applied— like it is gathered— depending on the mass of an object. That's probably about all I know about gravity. That, and that it's towards the center of an object. Gravity is GRA; the pull of the core of the Earth.

Does gravity exist anywhere else but to the core of the Earth? No, it's around the Sun. It keeps us revolving around the Sun. Type of mass has some form of gravitational pull.

Yeah, yeah. So do you have a gravitational pull? I imagine it'd be very small, but yeah, probably does. Does the Moon have its own gravity? Yes, because it has mass. Do you have gravity? Yes, because I'm awesome.

It's bodies with mass; they're attracted to each other. Is that true of all bodies with mass? Um, I don't know. I think so. So are you attracted to that tree? Um, I— I know probably not very much, but maybe a little bit.
