Newton confirmed his hypothesis about gravity by developing the Universal Law of Gravitation, which described the force of gravity between two objects. He used this law to predict the motion of the planets and the Moon, which matched observations made by astronomers, confirming the validity of his theory.

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.


Who was the scientist that created the law of gravity?

Sir Isaac Newton is the scientist credited with formulating the law of gravity. His work on gravity and laws of motion were published in his book "Philosophiæ Naturalis Principia Mathematica" in 1687.


How do scientists form theories and laws?

Theories are formulated using the scientific method of research where a hypothesis is created, tested and the results are examined. If the hypothesis can explain the data, make successful predictions and is not contradicted by reliable evidence we would call it a theory. For example, Newton's theory of gravity was formed to explain what the relationship between mass, distance and gravity is; after much testing and examination, it was found to hold true (at least for speeds not approaching that of light). Laws are mathematical relationships derived from theories. For example, Newton's law of gravity expresses Newton's theory of gravity in a formula using the required variables as Fg = GMm/d2.

Why did Isaac Newton name gravity gravity?

He did not. The concept of gravity existed before Newton; everyone who has ever lived has known that things fall. Newton was simply the first person to accurately describe gravity and how it works both on Earth and in space.
