Exploring Earth, Sun, and Moon: Earth in Space

The video explains the concept of gravity, a force that holds planets in orbit around the Sun and affects objects on Earth. It describes how gravity prevents planets from spinning off into space and how it pulls objects toward Earth's center. The gravitational relationship between Earth and the Moon is also introduced, with a promise to discuss the Sun's role further.

What is the force that keeps planets, including Earth, in their orbits?

• Magnetism

• Gravity

• Electricity

• Friction

What would happen to the planets without gravity?

• They would spin off into space

• They would stop moving

• They would collide with each other

• They would move closer to the Sun

On Earth, what does gravity do to objects?

• Makes them float

• Pushes them away from the center

• Keeps them stationary

• Pulls them towards the center

What happens when you jump off something on Earth?

• Gravity pulls you downward

• You float upwards

• You move sideways

• You remain in the air

What is the relationship between Earth and the Moon in terms of gravity?

• The Moon repels Earth

• There is no gravitational force

• A gravitational force exists between them

• The Earth orbits the Moon
