Gravity is the force which attracts all massive bodies to one another. Because the Earth is the biggest /closest body to us, its gravitational pull has the strongest effect on us.

What is the force that the earth uses to keep us on the ground?

Gravity


Why does gravity keep us down on the ground and not up in the clouds?

It is pulling us toward the center of the earth. We are lucky we live on Earth and no some planet with a weak gravity where we can fly in the clouds.


How does gravity keep the world up?

Gravity is a force of attraction between objects and it keeps objects with mass, like Earth, pulled together. Gravity is what keeps Earth orbiting around the Sun and prevents Earth from flying off into space. It's what keeps us grounded on the surface of the Earth.


Can the magnetism of the earth keep us on the earth like gravity?

No, the magnetism of the Earth does not keep us on the Earth in the same way that gravity does. Gravity is the force that attracts objects toward the center of the Earth, keeping us grounded. Earth's magnetic field, on the other hand, helps protect the planet from solar radiation and guides compass needles.


What keeps us from floating into space?

The force of gravity between the Earth and our bodies keeps us grounded, preventing us from floating into space. Gravity's continuous pull towards the Earth's center counteracts the upward force we would experience otherwise.


How do magnetism and gravity work together to keep us on earth?

Magnetism does not keep us on the Earth. It is the acceleration due to gravity, and nothing else, that keeps us on the ground (or causes us to return there if we jump.) Locally, the "amount" of gravity where we are exists because of Earth's mass and our distance from Earth's center. Other worlds have different accelerations due to gravity because of their different masses and diameters. It is true that the electromagnetic force helps us here on home planet. Earth's magnetic field deflects particles of the solar wind away which would otherwise abrade and erode away the air around us, and eventually deplete our atmosphere. So the magnetism, together with the atmosphere it helps to protect, keep us from suffering high levels of solar radiation. Gravity alone gives us our weight, and keeps us from floating away into space.


Why there is gravity in the earth?

There has to be gravity or will we float away. This is why mass and volume were created. To keep on us on the ground. You can't feel gravity but it will always be there. There is a force of attraction between all masses in the universe; the gravity we feel is the attraction between Earth's mass and the mass of our bodies on Earth's surface.

How inertia and gravity combine to keep earth in orbit?

gravity and inertia combine to keep earth in orbit because the suns gravity keeps the earth in orbit and the inertia keeps the earth from going in a straight line.


How does gravity effect earth's atmosphere?

it affect it by giving us a place to stand it may keep our air in but keeps us in it too.


When earth rotates how do we stand on earth?

When the Earth rotates, the force of gravity keeps us firmly planted on its surface. As the Earth spins, we rotate along with it, so we maintain our position on the ground due to gravity. Essentially, gravity holds us on the rotating Earth.


Does gravity keep earth in its orbit?

Yes; the sun's gravity keeps the Earth orbiting around it.
