Jump high and learn low about gravitational force and acceleration!
Jump into learning about gravity - the invisible force that keeps us grounded and makes things fall!
FAQs
What is gravity?
Gravity is an attractive force between objects with mass. Earth has a lot of mass, so it pulls people, air, water, and dropped objects toward its center.
Why do we come back down after jumping?
Your legs push you upward, but Earth's gravity keeps pulling downward. When your upward motion slows, gravity brings you back to the ground.
Is gravity the same as weight?
Not exactly. Mass is how much matter you have. Weight is how strongly gravity pulls on that mass.
Why do astronauts seem weightless?
Astronauts in orbit are still under gravity, but they are falling around Earth with their spacecraft. That free fall makes them feel weightless.
