For a very simple explanation, I will use an example used by Einstein himself...

Imagine the universe as a mattress, then imagine mass as a ball. The bigger the ball, the more it presses into the mattress and creates an indent. If you put other things in this indent they will fall towards the ball. That it basically how gravity works.


Hope that helped :)

Beautiful. Except . . . why does the ball press the mattress and create an indent ?

How is gravity different from mass and weight?

Mass is a measure of the amount of matter in an object, weight is the force of gravity acting on an object due to its mass, and gravity is the natural force of attraction between objects with mass. In simple terms, mass is what an object is made of, weight is the force with which it is pulled down by gravity, and gravity is what causes that force.

Does time cause gravity?

No, time does not cause gravity. Gravity is a fundamental force of nature that is caused by the presence of mass and energy in the universe. Time is a dimension that is related to the way events unfold and is not directly responsible for the force of gravity.
