yes gravity pulls object toward the earth

Here on Earth, the force of gravity does indeed pull objects down toward the Earth. But bear in mind that gravity is a universal force. On the planet Mars, for example, gravity pulls objects toward Mars. All objects in the universe have their own gravitational force, the strength of which depends upon how massive the object is. The sun is much heavier than the Earth, and the gravitational attraction of the sun is enormously greater than that of the Earth.

What is the direction of gravity?

The gravitational forces between two objects act in both directions along the line between their centers of mass. In our daily experience, where one of the objects is always the Earth, we call one of those directions "down" and, as relates to the forces of gravity, we ignore the other direction completely.

Where on Planet Earth such that gravity fall up rather then fall down?

-- Wherever you are on earth, the force of gravity ... that is, your "weight" ... always pulls in the directiontoward the center of the earth. That's toward the ground between your feet.-- How do we know which way is "down" anyway ? We call "down" the direction in which your weightpulls, the direction in which a stone moves when you drop it. So by definition, whichever way gravitypulls, that's the direction you call "down".


Why gravity pull objects down toward earth?

If there is "gravity" then it is an attractive force . that's the way it works. Einstein hypothesized that instead of "gravity", spacetime itself was bent by mass. Objects continued on straight paths (when not interfered with by other forces) but the space that they moved through was bent by the presence of objects with mass. The Sun has a very large mass and so bends space a lot more than the Earth or a butterfly but all objects obey the same rules.


What is caused by the earth pulling down on you?

Gravity and what are two forces on earth that act on object?

Gravity is the force that pulls objects toward the center of the Earth, while air resistance is a force that acts in the opposite direction, slowing down objects as they move through the air.


What is the tendency to move down slope toward lower elevations a characteristic of?

The tendency to move down slope toward lower elevations is a characteristic of gravity. Objects and materials will naturally move downhill due to the force of gravity pulling them towards the center of the Earth.


Why do you not float into the air?

We do not float into the air because of gravity, the force that pulls objects toward each other. Gravity keeps us grounded on the Earth's surface by attracting us toward its center. If gravity didn't hold us down, we would indeed float away into space.

Does gravity always pull you down?

Yes, gravity is a force that pulls objects toward each other, so it typically pulls objects down toward larger masses like the Earth. However, in space, the gravitational forces between objects can pull them in various directions depending on their positions and masses.

Does gravity exist in water?

Yes, gravity still exists in water. Gravity is the force that pulls all objects toward the center of the Earth, regardless of the medium they are in. So, objects in water still experience the gravitational force pulling them down.
