* Magnitude: Gravity has a strength, which is measured in Newtons (N). This is the magnitude of the force.

* Direction: Gravity always pulls objects towards the center of mass of the object exerting the gravitational force. This means it has a specific direction.

Vectors are quantities that have both magnitude and direction. Since gravity has both, it fits the definition of a vector.

Example:

Imagine an apple falling from a tree. The force of gravity acting on the apple has:

* Magnitude: The strength of the gravitational pull on the apple.

* Direction: Downwards, towards the center of the Earth.

Therefore, the force of gravity is a vector.
