Gravity is caused by mass which is a property of physical matter. Even hydrogen, the lightest element in the Universe, has mass and is subject to gravity. An interesting question would be why the mass has gravity?

What is center of gravity of a body?

The center of gravity is the theoretical point where all the body weight is concentrated or the theoretical point about which the body weight is evenly distributed. If a body is of uniform density and has a symmetrical shape the center of gravity is in the geometric center. If the object is not symmetrical and does not have uniform density, it is more difficult to describe the location of its center of gravity.


Does any force act on a body at rest?

Gravity, pressure.


Does mars have any gravity?

Yes. Any body with mass has gravity. Mars gravity is about 37% of earth's gravity at the surface. A person with a weight of 200 pounds on earth would be an energetic 74 pounds on Mars.


Why isn't there gravity on other planets?

Actually, there is. Any object with mass has gravity. In fact, even your body has a very, very tiny amount of gravity.


Is gravity a noun?

Yes, gravity is a noun, a common, uncountable noun.The noun gravity is a concrete noun as a word for theforce that attracts a body toward the center of the earth, or toward any other physical body having mass.The noun gravity is an abstract noun as a word fortheseriousnessorimportanceofsomething.


Does the center of gravity always lies on the body?

No. For example, a ring has a center of gravity in the center of the ring, not on any part of the ring.


Does gravity affects dead body?

Yes, gravity still affects a dead body as it would any other object of similar mass. Gravity causes the body to remain on the ground or floor, and it also plays a role in the eventual decomposition and settling of the body over time.


Is gravity is there in other planets?

Gravity exists throughout the universe, so the answer is yes. The strength of the gravitational field of any given body will depend upon the size, and density of the body


Is there any possible to disconnect gravity on human beings?

Yes. If we remain far from any body, the force of gravity on us would be zero. No. only if you repel the earth by forcing is only solution to minimize the gravity.


Can a body have two centers of gravity?

No, there is only one centre of gravity in which one's whole weight acts for any orientation of the object.


Why does mars have the weakest gravity?

It doesn't. As an example, the acceleration of gravity on the surface of Earth's moon is less than 1/2 of what it is on the surface of Mars. The strength of gravity on any astronomical body is determined by both its mass and radius. Those are the answers to any "why" gravity question.


What is a good explanation of what gravity is?

Gravity- The force that attracts a body toward the Earth, or toward any other physical body having mass. For most purposes Newtons laws of gravity apply with minor modifications to take the general theory of relativity into account. FACT= *Gravity is measured by Acceleration.
