GRAVITY DEFINED
Gravity is the tendency of
objects with mass to
accelerate towards each other
Gravity is one of the four
fundamental forces
(interactions) in nature.

The Suns gravity is what holds our solar

system together.

Planets and
Gravity
Since Jupiter is the
largest planet, it has
the most gravity.

and distance is shorter.

The further an object is away from another object,

the force of gravity is weaker.
The further an object moves from the surface of
the Earth, the less gravity it feels from the Earth.

Mass and Weight are two

different Properties of Matter

MASS

WEIGHT

Mass is a physical
property of matter that
explains how much
matter is in an object
Mass does not change
when gravity changes

Weight is a force which is

calculated by multiplying
the acceleration of
gravity times mass.
Weight can change when
gravity changes

IF YOU PULLED A MOUSE AND AN ELEPHANT WITH THE

SAME AMOUNT OF FORCE, THE ELEPHANT WOULD
RESPOND LESS TO PULLING EVEN IF HE DIDNT PULL
BACK AT ALL
THAT IS BECAUSE AN ELEPHANT HAS MORE MASS THAN
A MOUSE

An elephant on the Earth would weigh less on

the Moon, because gravity is less on the moon.
An elephants mass would not change if he
went to the moon
