Gravitation is a phenomenon through which all objects attract each other. Modern physics describes gravitation using the general theory of relativity, but the much simpler Newton's law of universal gravitation provides an excellent approximation in many cases.

Gravitation is the reason for the very existence of the Earth, the Sun, and other celestial bodies; without it, matter would not have coalesced into these bodies and life as we know it would not exist. Gravitation is also responsible for keeping the Earth and the other planets in their orbits around the Sun, the Moon in its orbit around the Earth, for the formation of tides, and for various other natural phenomena that we observe.

Gavitation means you did not use spell check when you typed out your question. Your need to have it described deeply speaks to your deep inner need for sleep. Have a Good Night.

Enjoy, And Happy New Year.

You need to use spell check, there is no word gavitation, but if it is gravitation? Okay it is magnetic, Gravity is created by the magnetic poles in the earth and bounced off the Moon which is a satellite, and the Sun's energy all in one. The constant spinning is electrical and creates electro magnetic, thus you have gravity and a magnetic pull that keeps your feet planted on earth so we all arent spinning off in pieces. The deeply part I dont get so go to www.astronomy.com and look up the scientific studies on gravity. Happy New Year

Gravity is the weakest force in Nature.

While its true that matter has an attractive quality like magnetism, that attraction is pitifully weak as distance is added.

The true method of gravity at great distances is not attraction at all.

The effect of gravity is much more apparent in large masses, like the Earth; rather than a small mass, like our body.

Large masses actually bend space. Like a bowling ball resting on the bed, it bends the mattress and the ball rests in a curved depression.

If I roll a marble past the bowling ball, its path curves along the depression.

Whether the marble can "escape" the depression depends upon the angle of approach and how fast I throw the marble across the bed.

So, to use another example, the mass of the Moon does pull upon the mass of the Earth. But the effect is "relatively slight".

The smaller mass of the Moon cannot dramatically alter the depression created by bowling ball Earth. But it can pull enough on its oceans to cause the tides.

You missed the spell or maybe the gravitational force keeps the planets in orbit about the Sun?

This is one phenomenon of creation which is yet to get an answer. You can only explain what is gravitation, but no body has so far enunciated a theory convincingly to explain how this happens.

Attraction of any two objects in this universe.
Caused by magnetic field and electricity

Black hole... the deepest description known, atleast theoretically.
