Mass bends space-time due to the gravitational force it exerts. According to Einstein's theory of general relativity, mass warps the fabric of space-time, causing objects to move along curved paths. This bending of space-time is what we perceive as gravity.

What are the effects of a large mass on space?

Large mass (in astronomical terms) bend and distort the fabric of spacetime.


Is gravity a force or a bend in spacetime?

Gravity is a force, not a bend in spacetime.


How does mass tell spacetime how to curve?

Mass tells spacetime how to curve through its gravitational pull. According to Einstein's theory of general relativity, mass causes spacetime to bend or curve around it, creating the force of gravity. The more mass an object has, the stronger its gravitational pull and the greater the curvature of spacetime around it.


How does time effect space?

Time and space are interconnected according to the theory of relativity. Time can affect space by bending it, creating what we know as gravitational effects. The presence of mass or energy can bend and warp spacetime, influencing the motion of objects within it.


Does all mass warp spacetime or does the warping of spacetime start when mass reaches a certain level?

Look at this websitewww.spacetimemodel.com It says that mass is really just a 4d volume of spacetime displacing and therefore warping the spacetime around it and so the answer is all mass displaces and so warps spacetime.


Why does mass curve spacetime?

Mass curves spacetime due to the presence of mass and energy, as described by Einstein's theory of general relativity. This curvature of spacetime is what we perceive as gravity, causing objects with mass to be attracted to each other.


Why does mass warp spacetime?

Mass warps spacetime due to the presence of gravity. According to Einstein's theory of general relativity, mass causes spacetime to curve, creating what we perceive as the force of gravity. This warping of spacetime is what causes objects to be attracted to each other.


What does mass create in spacetime?

Mass creates a curvature in spacetime, as described by Einstein's theory of general relativity. This curvature is what causes objects with mass to be attracted to each other through the force of gravity.


All atoms and molecules have mass and are therefore .?

Therefore they are consider matter. Remember anything with a mass is matter.


How does mass effect gravitational force?

There is no such thing as gravitational force. Mass curves spacetime and stuff moves through spacetime in straight spacetime paths. The effect of this is what we call gravity. The more the mass the greater the curvature of spacetime.


How light attracted by black hole even light has no weight?

According to the general theory of relativity, gravity does not attract; instead gravity bends spacetime. Objects always follow locally straight lines of motion, but in bent spacetime a locally straight line of motion is not globally straight, instead it is globally bent. Thus it does not matter if an object passing near a black hole has mass or not, its path will bend toward the black hole. Note: do not confuse mass and weight. In free fall all objects, whether they have mass or not, have no weight.


Does gravity have an affect on photons?

Yes, photons are affected by gravity. Gravity can cause light to bend around massive objects like stars or galaxies, a phenomenon known as gravitational lensing. This effect has been observed and confirmed through astronomical observations.
