because the earth has mass. Gravity is a the force of attraction that is related to the mass of an object. The greater the mass, the stronger the force of gravity.

Is the earth sitting on something in space?
No, the earth is in orbit around the sun. The earth is in "freefall" following a ballistic trajectory in response to the sun's gravity.
Do humans age the same in space as they do on earth?
Yes, approximately. Because of higher velocity, astronauts age slightly less than their counterparts on earth, when they are in space, but only by a tiny amount.On the other hand, weightlessness and radiation contribute to bone loss and other ill health effects; so it might be said that even though time is slightly slowed-down for astronauts, they can suffer a deterioration of their health.
How does a satellites move in space when its vacuum?
well space is like a vacuum you cant escape it and sound wave do not travel in space but space isn't literally a vacuum so they move by rockets and the gravity of earth
Does earth have more gravity or Ceres?
Earth has more gravity than Ceres does. Ceres gravity is 3% of that of Earth's.
Does Uranus have Weaker or stronger gravity than Earth?
The "surface gravity" is slightly less than on Earth.
Why is space not like earth?
Earth: Space: - is a planet - No gravity - supports life - Vaccum - gravity - No gravity or atmosphere - atmosphere
Why do have gravity on earth and not in space?
There is gravity in space. It intensifies as you approach a mass.
Can anyone bounce the earth?
No, as Earth is in space and space has no gravity, its impossible.
Is gravity the same size on earth?
Yes gravity is the same size on earth but not in outer space where there is no gravity.
Does the earth gravity affect the astronaut in space?
If he is aboard something that's in Earth-orbit, like the International Space Station or the Space Shuttle, then Earth's gravity is what's keeping him in orbit.
How do meteors fall to earth if there is no gravity in space?
There is gravity in space. Gravity is all pervasive, it is everywhere. It intensifies as you approach a mass.
At what altitude does the Earth's gravity no longer have an effect on the astronauts or the space shuttle?
At what altitude does the Earth's gravity no longer have an effect on the astronauts or the space shuttle?
How do the earth move in space?
the gravity moves the Earth in a circle
Why people do not fall of earth while astronomers float in space?
Gravity on earth lack of it in space
Why their is no air in space?
The atmosphere we breath is held round the earth's surface due to earth's gravity. Without this gravity, earth's atmosphere would disperse into space. Because our moon's gravity is weak, so there is no atmosphere on the moon.
Does space have more or less gravity than earth?
Space has no gravity. Gravity needs a mass to exist, and it is relative to other neighbouring masses.
How does the water in the earth's oceans keep from flying off into space?
gravity gravity
