What does gravity do to objects on Earth?

Back

Gravity pulls objects toward the center of the Earth.

Front

If you drop two objects of different weights from the same height, which will hit the ground first?

Back

Both objects will hit the ground at the same time.

Front

What happens to your weight if you travel to the moon?

Back

You would weigh less than you do on Earth because the moon has less gravity.

Front

What is the relationship between mass and gravity?

Back

The more mass an object has, the stronger its gravitational pull.

Front

What is an example of gravity in action?

Back

An example of gravity is the Earth orbiting the sun.

Front

What is the gravitational pull of the moon on Earth?

Back

The moon's gravity affects the tides in the oceans on Earth.

Front

What is weight?

Back

Weight is the measure of the force of gravity acting on an object.

Front

How does distance affect gravity?

Back

The farther apart two objects are, the weaker the gravitational pull between them.
