More About gravity

Long ago, a man named Isaac Newton found out about gravity. He saw an apple fall from a tree. This made him think about why things fall. He said that big things pull small things.

We feel gravity every day. When we jump, we come back down. When we drop a ball, it hits the ground. Gravity is always there, even if we can't see it.

In space, things work a bit different. The Moon has less gravity, so we can jump higher. In the future, we may learn more about gravity and how it works in space.
