Physical Science

Gravity is a force that pulls one object to another. All objects have gravity.
The bigger the mass of the object, the bigger its gravitational pull. The
gravitational pull of the Earth is strong. That is why everything is pulled

towards the centre of the Earth and does not float off into space!

Let’s Think

1 What different forces do you know?
