The force that attracts you and the earth to each other acts along the line between your

centers, and the direction toward the center of the earth is the direction we call "down".

To put it in a slightly different way: Gravity pulls things "down" because "down" is the name

that we give to the direction that gravity pulls things.

Why doesn't the gravitational force between the walls of a room and you doesn't pull you?

The gravitational force between two walls in a room don't pull eachother because gravity here on earth is different than gravity in space. Gravity on earth keeps us on the ground, it doesn't pull us side to side.

What keeps us from feelings gravity?

The feeling of gravity is constant due to the Earth's mass, which creates a gravitational pull. This force keeps us grounded and affects everything on the planet. To experience weightlessness, one must enter an environment where gravity's effects are minimized, such as during freefall in space or on a parabolic flight.


Something on earth affected by the pull of gravity from the moon?

Why do scales read differently if you stand on one or two?

Scales read your weight by how much gravity pulls on your body. The scale can only measure the pull of gravity by how much the scale itself is compressed. When you have one foot off the scale, and since gravity pulls straight down, gravity will be pulling the off-scale foot down to the side of the scale, not directly on it. This makes the scale compress less, because gravity is pulling you from another point not directly above the scale.
