The gravitational forces between two objects act in both directions along the line
between their centers of mass.
In our daily experience, where one of the objects is always the Earth, we call one
of those directions "down" and, as relates to the forces of gravity, we ignore the
other direction completely.
What else can I help you with?
Would there be gravity on a space ship in open space moving at high speeds and if so in what direction would it move?
Yes, there would still be gravity on a spaceship in open space due to the ship's acceleration creating a force similar to gravity. The direction of this artificial gravity would be towards the floor of the spaceship, simulating the gravitational pull we experience on Earth.
The force of gravity is responsible for changing the what in which a satellite moves?
The force of gravity is responsible for changing the velocity of a satellite, thus affecting its path or trajectory in space. This force influences the satellite's speed and direction, causing it to move in an elliptical orbit around a larger body such as a planet or a star.
Which direction is gravity pointing?
The forces due to gravity act along the line between the centers of two masses. That means that the Earth is attracted toward your center of mass, and you are attracted toward the center of the Earth, both with equal force. We typically refer to that direction as "down".
What kind of force is it when rockets escape from gravity?
If the rocket has a certain speed, it will escape from gravity due to its own momentum. To speed the rocket up, currently chemical combustion is used. The burning gas goes out in one direction, thus pushing the rocket in the opposite direction.If the rocket has a certain speed, it will escape from gravity due to its own momentum.

Where on Planet Earth such that gravity fall up rather then fall down?
There is no known location on Earth where gravity causes objects to fall up instead of down. Gravity is a fundamental force that pulls objects towards the center of mass, so it always results in objects falling downwards.
What are the characteristic of light at zero gravity?
When there's no gravity, light just travels in one direction at the speed of light. Gravity bends the direction at which light travels.
What direction does the force of gravity apply to the rollercoaster car?
From what I know, Force of Gravity always acts in the vertically downward direction.
What is the direction of the force of gravity?
The force of gravity acts towards the center of mass of the object in question.
How many direction does force of gravity has?
Exactly one direction . . . between the centers of the two masses that are being drawn together by gravity.
Does the force of gravity do work on a satellite when it is in motion?
No, the force of gravity does not do work on a satellite when it is in motion because the direction of the force is perpendicular to the direction of motion.
How does gravitropism effect plants?
Gravity. Gravitropism is when an object either moves towards or away from the force of gravity
When a body is thrown up the force of gravity goes in which direction?
The force of gravity is always in the same direction ... toward the center of mass of the other mass that's involved ... whether or not the body is in motion, regardless of what direction it may be moving, and regardless of whether or not you throw up.
In which direction does gravity pull the moon?
The Earth's gravity pulls the Moon towards it and its center.
How does roots grow when the direction of gravity changes?
Plant roots have specialized cells called statoliths that can sense changes in the direction of gravity. When the direction of gravity changes, these cells direct the growth of the roots in a new direction to ensure that the roots continue to grow downward, towards the center of the Earth. This process is known as gravitropism.
In which direction does gravity pull you?
Gravity acts as though you were being pulled to the center (of the earth, in my case).
Is gravity on the top or bottom?
Gravity works between any two objects, no matter in what direction they are.
What is the direction of the moon's gravity?
Towards the moon's centre.
