I choose the topic of gravity because I feel that its kind of interesting. To make
this topic more interesting, I write some questions and I will explain you every
question with details.
What is Gravity?
The force that attracts a body toward the center of the earth,
or toward any other physical body having mass

How can
we measure
gravity?
Before, all the people think that gravity is not a measureable force but Newton, who
prove that gravity is a measureable force. The international standard unit of force is
called Newton (N). On Earths surface, roughly 0.98N equal the downward force of
gravity on 100 grams od mass. one kilogram of mass exerts a downward force of 9.8N.
To calculate the force of gravity, physicists use the formula f = ma
(force = mass x acceleration).
Since the acceleration of gravity is 9.8m/s2 on
Earth for example - little g we can easily calculate the
Newton force of any mass. The average persons mass is 70 kilograms, which
multiplied by 9.8 gives you 686N the force by which
gravity keeps us all securely grounded.

What is the gravity
on different
planets?
S The gravity on different planets depending on their size and mass. Mercury is the smallest
planet with the least mass and the least density. The gravity on mercury is only 38% of the
gravity on earth. The radius of Mercury is barely larger than the moon, the gravity is high.
S The planet Venus is the same size on earth that's why it is called earth's twin. Venus is the
same size as earth that's why it is called earth's twin. Venus is slightly over 90% of the
earth's gravity.
S Mars has smaller destiny and mass than our planet, it means it has lower gravity. The
gravity of the mars is 38% of the gravity of earth as same as mercury.
S Jupiter is the massive planet in our solar system, means it also has the highest than you
would weigh two and a half times what you would on earth. We can't measure the gravity
of Jupiter because it does not have the solid surface. Saturn and Uranus is like Venus
because they both have the same size and mass like Venus. Saturn has 91% gravity of the
earth and Uranus has 89% gravity as earth. Neptune have 17 times earth's mass 14%
more it can not measure because it does not have solid surface.

Is there gravity in space?
S There is gravity everywhere. It is true that gravity decreases
with distance, when you far away from a planet or star it is
possible that you feel less gravity. Thats why in space, you
feel weightless. The reason that astronomers feel weightless
has to do with their position compare to their spaceship. We
feel weight on earth because gravity is pulling us down. Any
ship in orbit around the earth is falling slowly to earth.

How gravity is important?
S Basically, if the sun had no gravity we would be drifting off into
the space and we would not orbit anything. Because of the sun
has gravity it pulls the planets in, allowing them to orbit the sun.
Without the gravity of the sun there would not be nothing to
stop us from flying out into the cold darkness of space. As a
matter of fact without the force of gravity there would be
nothing if that could exist. The one most important thing that's
why gravity is important is because if it didn't exist their would
not be a universe in the first place no life on earth or life ny
undiscovered. Gravity pulls rain and snow down to our rivers.
Gravity also keeps the earth in orbit around the sun and keeps
us warm.

How does gravity work?
S Every time you jump, you experience gravity. It pulls you back down to the ground.
Without gravity, you'd float off into the atmosphere along with all of the other matter
on Earth. Gravitational is a weak force and is usually only noticed when one is when
one is dealing with a huge masses in excess of trillions of kilograms.
S An object with as much mass as the earth create a sort of "hole" or "well" in space
time, you don't float away into of "hole" or "well" in space time, you don't float away
into outer space because you are trapped in the earth space time well. The paths of
energy waves also appear to change shape as they pass through gravitational
"holes" or "wells"; some "wells" are so powerful that they can trap light and never let
it out again; we call these problem "black hole."
