This is a fantastic answer that most don't commonly think about. Let's assume that everything about the earth that we know today remained the same, except its gravitational pull. And let's say that earth suddenly LOST its gravitational pull. This means that you have no weight. So, let's say that you decided to go for a dive in your swimming pool and you jump off the diving board. Instead of falling into the water for a fun splash, you'd go flying into the sky and you would never come back. Scary thought, isn't it? In fact, it gets much, much worse. Not only would you go flying off to Neverland, but the moon would likely fling out of its orbit around our planet. This would probably pull a huge tidal wave up and over the world. And since water binds to itself, the world ocean would probably follow, blocking out the sun, and either causing us to boil or freeze (I don't know). But that's a very unlikely scenario. Now let's assume that earth originally formed without any gravity and somehow life was still possible. We'd be much different as a species. In fact, we would understand physics from a MUCH different perspective because part of our lives requires that we have gravity. Now just for a little fun, have you seen the movie "WALL-E"? I want you to go and watch that (It'll be fun and you'll learn a little something). In this movie, the effects of low gravity on the human body are partially explained (Just have to pay attention). If you have already seen it, I'll explain it further. Gravity not only keeps us on the ground where we're nice and safe, but it keeps us from growing too stretched. Now imagine without gravity. Over time, we'd experience muscle deterioration and other physical ailments. BTW, did you know that a pioneer in the area of physics and gravity was Isaac newton? ~Apple Juice
If there were no gravity, everything would be floating, because gravity is everywhere.
