Explore the Law of Gravity by demonstrating that gravity is a force that can be overcome.

The Sun is at the center of the solar system and its gravitational pull keeps

everything orbiting around it.

Gravity plays an important role in the formation and motion of planets, stars,

moons, and even solar systems.

OBJECTS THAT ARE CLOSER TOGETHER AND

DECREASES AS OBJECTS MOVE FARTHER APART

Astronomers believe that gravity plays a significant role in the formation of planets,

stars, and other astronomical bodies

Stars are made of giant clouds of dust and gas that come together as a result of gravity.
