Gravity is like an invisible friend that keeps you from floating away into the sky. Imagine you’re holding a balloon, and you let it go. It floats up because it’s lighter than the air around it. But you don’t float away because gravity is holding you down, like a gentle hug from the Earth.
Think of gravity as a magical magnet. It’s not like the magnets on your fridge because you can’t see it or touch it, but it’s always there. This magnet is super strong; it keeps you and everything else - like your toys, your house, and even the trees - safely on the ground.
Imagine the Earth as a giant trampoline. When you jump, you go up for a moment, but then you come back down. That’s because gravity is pulling you back, just like how the trampoline pulls you back after a jump. Without gravity, you’d keep going up and up!
Gravity is also like a superhero cape for the planets and the moon. It makes sure they don’t fly away into space and keeps them moving in circles around the sun, just like a race track.
