The fact that objects fall towards the surface of our Earth is something known not only to humans long before Newton, but (in can be argued) by animals for 100s of millions before the first humanoid had a thought.
Newton showed that the fall of an object on the surface of our Earth, AND the orbit of planets around our Sun, are the result of one and the same phenomena. In other words, the law of gravity applies equally outside our planet as it does on our planet.

Galileo's theory of motion is principle of inertia. It is basically the same thing as Newton's law of motion since he based it on Galileo. It says that an object will remain still or keep moving in constant speed unless affected by another force.
Galileo was the first to say that an object will continue in a straight line at constant speed unless acted on by a force. Newton's law of gravity and laws of motion were used to give a mathematical proof of the laws of planetary motion discovered by Kepler from measurements of the planets' positions done by Tycho Brahe at the end of the 16th century.
The name "gravity" comes from the Latin word, gravitas. In the Europe of Newton's time, Latin was the language used by the learned, and many books on academic and scientific subjects were written in Latin so that they could be read by people in all the European countries regardless of the reader's own native language. English is coming to play a similar role in the world today. Gravitas simply meant "heaviness" or "weight," and heavy bodies were usually said at this time to possess the property of gravity. Their heaviness, or weight, was what made them fall down. Newton had new things to say about heaviness, and a new way of talking about it. By saying that gravity should be understood as a force that's exerted between heavy bodies that had what Newton called mass, Newton was saying that weight shouldn't any longer be regarded as simply a property possessed by a "heavy body", but that a body that seems to be heavy is in fact being attracted by another body with mass, in this case, the earth. So it tends to push downwards towards the center of the earth, against anything (such as your hand) that gets in the way to prevent it from falling. When you weigh something, you're measuring how difficult it is to prevent the heavy body from moving downward.
It's entirely reasonable to say that they are, mainly becauseEarth's tides are caused by gravity.2nd Answer:Great answer. It would be fair to say that the Moon's tides (in the ground, since there is no standing water, there) are caused by gravity, also.
It is more correct to say that Newton invented the theory of gravitation, than to say that he discovered the theory. Gravity exists in nature, but the theory of gravity does not exist in nature, it is a human invention. You can only discover something that already exists, and the theory of gravity didn't exist until Newton invented it.

I would say Issac Newton is best known for getting hit in the head with an apple and coming up with the idea of gravity. Newtons 3 laws
Some say Newton discovered gravity because an apple fell on his head.
some people say he was in the garden having tea!!
Isaac Newton. He invented Differential Calculus before the age of 26, and some say he continued to discover and explore it at the same rate that we learn about it today.
That force is gravity.
Gravity is what makes things fall to the ground, or if they're already down, to stay there.Anyone who has ever dropped anything or picked something up has, in a way, discovered gravity.What Newton is accredited for, is to be the first to have a good think about WHY things fall, and how the force that makes things fall would work and interact with reality.Gravity was discovered by Isaac Newton. He didn't literally invent it but he found it out. Isaac had an apple, dropped it on the floor and wondered what had the force to pull it down. He named the pull, gravity and that's why we say that today. Isaac newton was a good man finding our pull of force but died. Isaac is still in talk today.
Because North American Man was already here!
It is incorrect to say that if a root is placed horizontally it will bend towards gravity because roots exhibit positive gravitropism, meaning they grow downwards in response to gravity. Thus, a horizontal root would still grow downwards due to gravitropism.
No. Kepler proposed that some force kept the planets in orbit, but did not know or say what that force was. It was Isaac Newton who figured out that this force is gravity.
It is incorrect to say that a root will bend towards gravity if placed horizontally because plant roots grow in response to various stimuli such as light, moisture, and nutrients, in addition to gravity. The direction of root growth is influenced by the presence of these external cues, not just gravity alone. Therefore, roots may bend or grow in a particular direction based on multiple factors, not solely gravity.
