According to newton the earth pulls objects towards it. According to Einstein's theory of relativity (which is very, very well supported by experiments and predictions) gravity is the displacement of space by massive objects like planets, moons, stars and such. The earth literally bends space, so if something passing by the earth and is "pulled" in, it's actually going in a straight line, but the line (space) is distorted, so it changes course and moves towards the earth like a train whose tracks have been bent in one direction or another.
Einstein used the example of a Bowling ball on a matress displacing the matress, curving space and drawing nearby objects in.

∙ 14y agoThis happens because if a matter is on Earth, and since Earth has gravity, it is bound to have experienced it. But I don't know the answer to that question if you are talking about matter in outer space.

∙ 11y agoI think the best answer to that is that we don't know. We only know that everything
with mass is a source of gravitational forces and is influenced by them. But the actual
reason for the physical process hasn't been explained, and no particle has been identified
that's responsible for the gravitational force.

What is a force that pulls material down a slope?
Gravity Also, Erosion and Weathering help out the process as well.
Is gravity a force?
Yes, gravity is a force that pulls us towards the Earth 🌍.
What force acts between all objects?
gravity
Is there less gravity at a higher height?
Yes. Gravity drops off at the square of the distance. So the further you are from something the less the force of gravity you experience.
Does gravity only act on heavy objects?
No, gravity acts on all objects regardless of their weight. The force of gravity is dependent on the mass of an object, so heavier objects will experience a stronger gravitational force than lighter objects. However, even very light objects, such as feathers, are still subject to the force of gravity.
Which force pulls everything down to earth?
The force that pushes downward on objects on earth is called gravity.
What is a force on everything around you?
Gravity and its counterbalance the normal force
What can be said about the force of earths gravity pulling on the books?
Earths gravity acts on everything from its center of gravity to everything else's center of gravity.
What force pulls a bike downhill?
The force of Gravity. Gravity is the force that pulls everything down to the ground. Hope this helps!
What is a force that pulls material down a slope?
Gravity Also, Erosion and Weathering help out the process as well.
The form of energy that keeps everything on the ground?
The force of gravity
Which force pulls everything toward the center of earth?
gravity
Is the force that pulls everything toward the center of the earth?
gravity
Does spiders have gravity?
Everything that has energy or mass will attract other objects via the force of gravity.
What is meant by center of gravity?
gravity is the force that pulls everything down towards the centre of the earth.
What are some facts about gravity?
Gravity is a force on earth that pull everything down. On the moon there is less gravity than on the earth
Is the force of gravity important?
No! Of course, there is so much mass that the force of gravity overwhelms everything else in the Universe. Oops, I meant "yes".
