Gravity is a result from mass (i.e. the greater the mass an object has the more gravity force it will inflict on its surrounding objects). Taking your question literally, if there were no gravity, then there would be no Earth; as to have no gravity the mass of the body must be zero. Therefore you'd be left floating in space.

Now if all of a sudden (for some comical and unscientific reason) the Earth's gravitational pull would be switched off, our atmosphere would dissolve, airplanes would continue to fly up into space, and a simple jump would give you enough escape velocity to reach space. So you wouldn't necessarily "fall of the Earth", you'd more or less float away in a Zero-G environment (which happens to mean zero-gravity).

Other than gravity why don't you fall off earth?

Gravity is the only reason. (Unless you're standing in concrete or glue.) ================================================= Another contributor joined in, with several alternative ways of saying the same thing: ... The Earth is round you cannot fall off. yes gravity is keeping you tied down to the surface of the earth.. if there was no gravity you would float away... you would never fall off the Earth. That is impossible, floating away though is what would happen if the gravitational force was no existent.

Is it possible to fall off of the moon?

No, it is not possible to fall off the Moon. The Moon has gravity, although its gravity is weaker than Earth's. If someone were to jump off the Moon's surface, they would eventually fall back due to its gravitational pull.
