It is the mass of the earth itself that generates the gravity of earth. Every bit of matter in the earth adds to the gravitational pull that every object on the earth feels. In turn, the masses of our bodies have their own gravity, and our bodies and the earth exert a mutual pull. Earth is more massive, so it wins (we move toward earth; earth doesn't move toward us). For very large objects like the moon, the mutual pull is a little more cooperative. Earth and moon actually both orbit around a mutual point. If the moon and earth were the same mass, they would each orbit around a point half-way between them. They would do a kind of spiral dance together as they orbit around the sun.

How did Isaac Newton create gravity?

Isaac Newton did not create gravity. Gravity has always existed. He did experiments and tests about gravity. Newton wrote Newton's Law of Gravitation, but create... nope. Look up his law for more info.


How does the anti-gravity wheel work to defy gravity and create a levitating effect?

The anti-gravity wheel uses magnets to create a repelling force that counteracts gravity, allowing the wheel to levitate and appear to defy gravity.


Is it possible to create artificial gravity?

Yes, it is possible to create artificial gravity through methods such as rotating spacecraft or using centrifugal force to simulate the effects of gravity.

Can humans create artificial gravity?

We can create conditions that 'mimic' gravity, and provide the familiar 'downward' forcethat we need in order to remain oriented and feel normal. But it's not gravity.


How does the sun create Earth's gravity?

It does not. Earth's gravity is the result of Earth's mass.


Do magnets defy gravity?

Magnets do not defy gravity, but they can create forces that appear to defy gravity. When a magnet is placed near an object, it can create a magnetic force that opposes the force of gravity acting on the object. This can make the object appear to levitate or hover.


How can you create zero gravity?

There is no place in the universe that has zero gravity. No matter where you are some type of gravitational force is acting upon you. So there is no way to create zero gravity even in the vastness of space.

Did Thomas Edison create gravity?

No, Thomas Edison did not create gravity. Gravity is a natural force that exists due to the mass of objects, attracting them towards each other. Edison was an inventor known for his work with electricity and lightbulbs.
