Gravity in Space
Ages 8-12Intermediate
Gravity is a force that pulls objects toward each other. The bigger an object, the stronger its gravity.
The Sun's powerful gravity keeps all the planets in their orbits. Without gravity, the planets would fly off into space!
⚡ Fun Fact:On the Moon, gravity is about 6 times weaker than on Earth. That's why astronauts can jump so high on the Moon!
