Why does gravity pulls things, pushes things, or make things rise and fall.?

Answer 1

Gravity doesn't push things, it pulls things together, or tugs at them.

If you jump up (which is hard, because you're going against gravity), you and the Earth are pulled toward each other. (Since the Earth is way bigger, you're the one who moves toward it.)

Perhaps you're wondering about rising tides? That's the moon and the water on Earth being pulled toward each other (since the water can move better, it rises on the side of the Earth that's nearest the moon).

Why? Well, that's what gravity IS: the attraction of matter toward other matter. Gravity is the name we've given that phenomenon.

Perhaps if you explained your question better, or removed this one and tried again, you'd get better answers.

Or you could type the word in a search engine, or browse on science websites.

Answer 2

Gravity pulls things and make them fall due to the attractions between matter. We don't know the mechanism of how that force is created. We understand the effects of gravity but not the cause.

Answer 3

Because Gravity has this burning desire to
collect things unto itself. You see Gravity is
the ultimate Game Player. It wants all the toys,
not just some of them.

Answer 4

Gravity, as Einstein as shown us, is nothing more than ripples in spacetime. It's hard to picture time as a dimension as well as spacetime actually rolling and rising and dipping but Einstein's equations of proved it. Things "fall" as they slide down dips in the fabric of spacetime. Things are always moving in a direction that reduces their gravitational potential energy. Further down a spactime dip is lower potential energy. The curves in spacetime transmit the force of gravity. Larger objects warp and curve spacetime more than smaller objects.
