Well, let's see. If I have a paper clip on a table and a magnet in my hand, and

I slowly pass the magnet over the paper clip, the magnet in my hand is pulling

the paper clip up with magnetism. If my magnet is close enough to the paper

clip, the paper clip will jump up to the magnet ... even though the whole Earth

is pulling it down with gravity.

How do scientists know that earths gravity and magnetism can work through gases solids and liquids?

Scientists know that Earth's gravity and magnetism can work through gases, solids, and liquids because they have observed these effects in various materials and environments. They have conducted experiments and studies to understand the behavior of gravity and magnetism in different mediums and have found consistent results. Additionally, theoretical models and mathematical equations have been developed to explain how gravity and magnetism can act through different states of matter.


Is magnetism stronger or is gravity stronger?

Quite simply, magnetism is stronger than gravity. In order to see a gravitational attractment you need a big difference in the force while magnetism all you need is opposite poles to attract each other. Imagine the difference between the whole earth and a small pebble. That's the difference you need in-order to achieve gravitational attractment.


How do friction magnetism and gravity affect's us on earth?

Friction affects us by providing traction for walking or driving, while also causing wear and tear on surfaces. Magnetism is not a significant force in our daily lives unless working with magnetic materials like iron. Gravity is responsible for keeping us grounded on Earth, providing weight, and causing objects to fall when dropped.


What role do electrons play in magnetism?

Magnetism is produced through electric currents. In the case of a permanent magnet, it is the electrons circling around the atomic nucleus that produces the magnetism (more atoms have one orientation than the opposite orientation).Magnetism is produced through electric currents.
