Gravity

Without gravity, we would fly off the spinning earth and into the space. Gravity is a force of attraction that acts between any two objects. The objects can be as large as galaxies or as small as sub atomic particles. The strength of the gravity between two objects depends on their masses and the distance between their centers. Objects with large masses exert a strong force of gravity. Objects far apart attract each other weakly.
Gravity always acts towards the centre of Earth, defining the downwards direction every point on the planet surface. Gravity pulls the juggling ball towards the ground, slowing it as it rises, and speeding it up as it falls. The ball also pulls on the Earth but the earth is so massive that the ball’s gravity has no noticeable effect.
