This cannot be answered within the Newtonian framework because gravity just exists, it is not caused by anything. It is a curious coincidence that inertial and gravitational masses are equal.
If we are willing to venture a bit further into quantum field theory however, an approximate answer may be formulated. I say approximate because a full answer would require an understanding of a quantum mechanical description of gravity and this has not yet been obtained.
But, according to quantum field theory gravity is caused by so-called local Lorentz invariance (or local supersymmetry if you are feeling fancy and like supersymmetry). What does this mean? This means the laws of nature are invariant under transformations of the Lorentz (a mathematical group describing spacetime rotations and boosts) group. The argument is a bit technical I'm afraid, but you can show that this leads directly towards a description of gravity in agreement with Einstein's.
What else can I help you with?
Does mass mean the same as gravity?
No, mass and gravity are not the same. Mass refers to the amount of matter in an object, while gravity is a force that pulls objects with mass towards each other. Gravity is influenced by the mass of objects.
How does Mass impact on gravity?
The force of gravity that attracts two objects toward each other is directly proportional to the mass of each object.
How is mass affected by gravity?
Mass is not affected by gravity; rather, gravity is a force that acts on mass, causing objects with mass to be attracted to each other. The greater the mass of an object, the stronger the gravitational force acting on it.
Is mass gravity?
No. Mass is not gravity, any more than fat is weight. Mass is the material that you're made of. Gravity is the name for the characteristic of our universe that causes two pieces of mass to attract each other.
Does Halley's comet have gravtiy?
Every thing with mass has gravity, two things with mass attract each other, so, yes, it does have gravity
Is gravity matter because it does not have mass and volume?
Gravity is a force that exists due to the presence of mass, not a form of matter itself. Gravity is the force of attraction between objects with mass, causing them to pull each other together. It does not have mass or volume on its own.
Why is why is there gravity on some planets but not on others?
There is gravity on all planets. The strength of that gravity varies depending on the size and mass of each planet.
Gravity depends on the mass and distance of an object?
Yes, gravity is a force that pulls objects toward each other. The strength of gravity between two objects depends on their mass and distance from each other. The greater the mass of the objects and the closer they are, the stronger the gravitational force between them.
Why does gravity differ on didderent planets?
Gravity differs on different planets because it is determined by the mass of the planet. The larger the mass, the stronger the gravitational pull. Each planet has a unique mass and size, resulting in different levels of gravity on each planet.
Planets and moons are kept in orbit by the force of?
Gravity, which is caused by the mass of the objects. The gravity between a planet and its moon causes them to be attracted to each other, keeping them in orbit as they move through space.
Do the sombrero have gravity?
I assume you mean the sombrero galaxy. It is a galaxy, hence it has mass, hence it has gravity. If you mean a "sombrero" as in hat, it also has mass and therefore gravity. The gravity, in each case, can be calculated via the gravitational formula.
How is there gravity for the planets?
They all have mass, and masses are attracted to each other.
