The pavement is made of solid materials that provide support for our weight by exerting an equal and opposite force in the opposite direction of gravity. When we stand on the pavement, the pavement exerts a normal force upwards that counteracts the force of gravity pulling us downward, preventing us from falling through.

Where is the earths center of gravity and why it spin as it moves through space?

The earth's center of gravity is the center of the earth, or the center of the mass with the mass being the earth. The earth spins as it moves through space on account of sun's gravitational forces and because there is nothing in space to get in the way or stop the earth from rotating.


Is there gravity in the center of the Earth?

Yes, there is gravity in the center of the Earth. The force of gravity is present throughout the entire Earth, including its center.


Where does the center of gravity of the atmosphere of the earth lies?

Since the atmosphere is more or less symmetric, its center of mass (center of gravity) gravity must be quite close to Earth's center.


Is there gravity at the center of the Earth?

Yes, there is gravity at the center of the Earth. The force of gravity is present throughout the entire planet, including at its core.


Do All objects fall toward the center of the earth.?

All objects on earth are pulled towards the center of the earth by gravity. The objects are pulled to the core(center of earth), but are not pulled through because of the normal force.

Where is the earth center of gravity?

The center of gravity of Earth is at its core, which is near its geometric center. It is the point where the gravitational pull on an object can be considered to act.


If you dug a hole through the center of the earth and jumped in would you stay at the center because of gravity?

Not necessarily, the place you land depends on how far you jump into the hole. Gravity won't pull you to the center, gravity only pulls things down and not sideways.

Yes. At least, the gravity resulting from planet Earth.


Does the center of the earth control the gravity?

No. Earth's gravity is a result of its mass. Every bit of mater on and within Earth contributes to its gravity.


Is earth's gravity the same on the surface as it is in the center of the earth?

No. At the centre of the earth the acceleration due to gravity is ZERO


Do all objects fall towards the center of the earth?

Yes, all objects on or near Earth's surface fall towards the center of the Earth due to the force of gravity acting upon them. This is why objects dropped from a height fall downwards.
