Gravity Drop Experiment - EcoTraining Junior Rangers
Gravity is the invisible force that pulls everything toward Earth! Let's test what happens when we drop objects on Earth vs in space. Pick an object, then watch what happens!
Gravity is a force that pulls everything toward Earth's centre. It keeps us on the ground, makes rain fall, and holds our atmosphere in place.
The bigger and heavier something is, the stronger its gravity. Earth's gravity is strong! But in space, far from planets, there is almost no gravity - so objects float freely.
On the Moon, gravity is 6 times weaker than Earth. So you could jump 6 times higher!
