What would happen, if gravity suddenly disappears?

• we will able to walk on the Earth surface

• we will hover in the space

• we will be pulled by the Earth

Which one is NOT the postive impact of gravity.

• Gravity keeps the air around us as a blanket, and it prevents air from escaping into space.

• We can stand, jump, walk, and run on the ground due to gravity.

• The gravity will make the planets collide.Gravity keeps all the planets in the orbit of the sun.

• Gravity keeps all the planets in the orbit of the sun.

Mass and weight are two different quantities.

The mass of an object is the quantity of matter in it; usually measured in kilograms. But, weight is the force of an object that it is putting on a platform due to gravity.

• True

• False
