Gravity is a strong force that pushes things to the ground. Unfortunately, some objects have a mass that is able to be pushed around by other forces, namely wind, and so in the case of a kite, wind takes over gravity, and flies the kite.

How does a kite defy gravity?
It doesn't, nothing can defy gravity.
What ingenious children's device that conquers gravity?
KITE
What cause a kite to fall to the ground when the wind stops?
gravity
Does gravity effect the flying of a kite?
yes. it pulls it downward, not letting it float free.
What are the two forces that act on a flying kite?
no your wrong the force of the wind must be greater than the force of gravity
How does gravity effect a kite?
gravity of a kite is something that pulls the kite down

How do kites stay up in the air?
Kites stay in the air because of the force exerted on them by moving air (wind). If there were no wind then the kite would fall to the ground. This is because gravity is always trying to pull the kite down. Now the force of wind comes in to play to keep the kite in the air. The kite is at an angle to the ground, and it looks like this slash when it is flying in the air ---> / That is important because as the kite catches the wind two orthogonal forces are applied to the kite. One that is anti-parallel to gravity (Meaning the force is pointing up.) and one that is orthogonal to gravity. We don't necessarily care about the orthogonal force for our example so let's forget about it. The force generated on the kite that is anti-parallel to gravity is what keeps it in the air, so long as the anti-parallel force is greater than the weight of the kite.
Does gravity effect the flying of a kite?
yes. it pulls it downward, not letting it float free.
Does a kite fly higher when it is fitted with a long tail or a short tail explain it in scientific method?
Because of high gravity in the sky the kite flys when it is fixed with a log tail.
How does a kite stay in the air?
kites stay in the air they follow the air around the same things with bollons if they are let go they would fly away > moving air (wind ) is required, the angle of the kite gives vertical force to the kite, opposing gravity.
Would a kite work in space?
No, kites need both wind and gravity to work.. and neither of those are in space.
How do kites fly what forces act on a kite?
Kites fly by harnessing the lift force generated by the wind as it flows over the kite's surface. The shape and angle of the kite help create lift, while the tail helps stabilize and steer the kite. Gravity acts downward counteracting the lift force, and tension in the string keeps the kite connected to the flyer.
Why should not fly a kite in a thickly populated area?
Because of the gravity in the earth in side the pop cord :) BY: joseph gonzaga
