It turns out that gravity distorts both space and time. In the presence of masses - and especially of large masses - space no longer obeys the laws of Euclidean geometry. For example, you can no longer expect the sum of all angles, in a triangle, to be exactly 180 degrees.

What did Einstein mean when he said gravity warps space?
He meant that the gravitational pull of a mass is just the curvature of spacetime caused by a mass. You can think of spacetime as a blanket pulled tight on all corners. If you place a large object in the center, things on the outside of the blanket will go towards the larger object in the center.
What particles are gravity natural?
If by "gravity neutral" you mean "not affected by gravity" the answer is none. Gravity is an attribute of curved space-time and thus everything in space-time is affected. Even massless photons curve in the presence of massive bodies.
Why don't the earth's atmosphere disappear into space?
-.- obviously (not to be mean) becuz of gravity
What does it mean that dark matter warps time and light?
Since dark matter has mass, it is able to warp time and space, which also makes it able to bend light. The effect of dark matter on space-time (and, therefore, light) is the same as that of regular matter.
What do you mean by gravity?
Gravity is the force that pulls objects with mass towards each other. It is responsible for keeping planets in orbit around the sun and objects grounded on the Earth. It is a fundamental force in the universe that governs the motion of celestial bodies.
Where the gravity is zero?
do you mean where is zero gravity? if so it is all in space and sometimes at science places such as a lab where scientist study zero gravity. to me that stuff is awesome you can float in the air and stuff its awesome.
Why can't we fly of floot on earth?
we can't fly or float on earth because of gravity. Gravity keeps us from flying, floating, and falling of of the earth. In outer space it is different only because ther is no gravity in outer space and if there was the planets would most likely end up falling or we wouldn't be able to float in outer space anymore. But gravity is the main thing that keeps us on the ground!!! We can't feel gravity but that doesn't mean that it doesn't exist.
What anastronaut working in Space near the International space station says she feel weightless. What does she mean Does the astronaut no have weight?
It actually means that the astronaut is in free fall, and doesn't FEEL gravity. Gravity does affect the astronaut, so the astronaut will still be accelerated towards Earth. However, the astronaut won't feel the gravity.
What is required for a rocket to lift out of space?
Thrust . i mean a force required to overcome the gravity of earth and which is greater than its weight.
What holds planets in space?
What exactly do you mean by "in space"? Everything is in space. If you meant why they are individually floating without getting attracted into the corresponding star, then that is due to the centrifugal force caused by the revolution of the planet. Please append the corrected question to this answer if you happen to read this again...:)
Is gravity used in space travel?
Yes, gravity is still a force exerted on objects in space, even though it decreases with distance from massive bodies like planets. Gravity is used in space travel to slingshot spacecraft around celestial bodies, determine trajectories, and keep objects in orbit.
How does space supple in gravity?
I don't even have a guess what you mean. Please use other words, or see if you can correct the problem in the question. Space doesn't 'supple'; supple is an adjective not a verb.
