Gravity causes a pair of forces on every two masses. Each force acts on one of the
masses, and pulls it toward the other one. The key word is: The direction of gravity
is always "together".
There are a pair of gravitational forces between the Earth and any other object with
mass. The forces attract the Earth and the object toward each other. If there's nothing
holding them apart, then they move toward each other.
Words like "drop" and "down" and "fall" are not really descriptive characteristics of gravity.
They're just the words we use to mean "towards the Earth", because that's the direction
that gravity always causes us to move when nothing is stopping us. But you should realize
that "down" in the USA and "down" in India are almost exactly opposite directions.

Why do things fall when you drop them?
They are attracted by Earth's gravity.
What force is stronger gravity or air resistance?
Gravity is stronger. If gravity was not stronger air would make us float away. Air is trying to make things go up and gravity is making things go down.
Why does gravity pull things down fast if it has more weight?
You're describing a behavior that Galileo proved false 500 years ago. Gravity does not pull heavier things down faster.If you can eliminate the effects of air resistance, then anything you drop from the same height hits the ground at the same time, whether you drop a feather, a baseball, or a brick.
How to use gravity with an egg drop experiment?
Making a egg drop experiment is easy. You determine the gravity by how fast the egg drops and if it breaks.
How can you make a seed with parachute fall quicker on the ground?
Well its depending on the MASS of the seed or how many seeds you added to your parachute. But if not, try doing a fair test for you parachute. But you'll never can make a seed drop down quicker. It depends on GRAVITY too. Gravity is invented by Isaac Newton. Many sad the apple drop on his head and he got the idea of gravity, but that was wrong. The apple drop next to him.If this does not help you go to my email. Tristan66ko@hotmail.com
Why do things fall when you drop them?
They are attracted by Earth's gravity.
Why do people drop things all the time?
People drop things frequently due to factors such as distractions, clumsiness, fatigue, or simply being in a rush. Additionally, physical conditions, such as poor coordination or grip strength, can also contribute to dropping objects.
What did Galileo drop to make the law of gravity?
tomato from the leaning tower of pisa
What force is stronger gravity or air resistance?
Gravity is stronger. If gravity was not stronger air would make us float away. Air is trying to make things go up and gravity is making things go down.
Does the pull of gravity make things have weight to things on earth?
yes, force (or weight) = mass * acceleration due to gravity
Does the pull of gravity make things have weight?
Yes
How does gravity make things fall?
The weight of the object causes gravity to take the object falling
How do you make an elephant fly in halo 3 with a hornet?
You cant do it with a hornet you need a gravity lift and 2 drop pods put the gravity lift by the moniter so its under the roof sort of thing. Then put the drop pods on the gravity lift then it will fly !! Have fun
Why does a bullet drop?
Gravity.
What makes a ball drop?
Gravity
What causes a ball drop?
Gravity
Why does drop become rain?
if you mean why does rain drop , it is because of gravity
