* Gravity is a force: It attracts objects with mass towards each other. The more massive an object, the stronger its gravitational pull.
* Acceleration: Gravity causes acceleration, meaning it changes the speed or direction of an object's movement.
* Circular Motion: In the case of planets orbiting the Sun, gravity pulls the planet towards the Sun, constantly changing its direction to keep it in a circular path. The planet doesn't fly off in a straight line because gravity is pulling it inward.
* Projectile Motion: When you throw a ball, gravity pulls it down towards the Earth. The ball doesn't travel in a straight line but follows a curved path because gravity is constantly changing its direction.
Key Points:
* Gravity doesn't create motion: It only influences existing motion.
* Gravity acts on all objects with mass: Whether it's a tiny pebble or a massive planet.
* Gravity is a force of attraction: It pulls objects towards each other, never pushes them away.
