A Victim of Gravity
Down, down, down, down gravity
Helpin' wash the dishes
And I drop a cup.
Why does everything fall down
Instead of up?
Ridin' up a hill I spill
And hit the ground.
Wish I could fall up instead of always falling down.
Down, de-down, down, down.
I'm a victim of gravity.
Everything keeps fallin' down on me.
No matter where I go
That forces that I know,
Just a pullin' me down, down, down, down, down.
It's all around town now,
It's like a magnet deep inside the ground.
When I lift something up,
I can feel it pulling down.
It pulls me in the pool,
It pulls rain down on me.
I'm a victim of
Down, down, down, down, gravity, yeah.
Galileo, Galileo, Galilei -
He did experiments with a force he couldn't see.
(Could not see, yeah.)
He found that all things fall to earth at the very same speed.
(Very same speed, yeah.)
He didn't know it yet, but that was due to gravity.
The Moon goes 'round the Earth
And shines its silver light.
The Earth goes 'round the Sun
And makes the seasons right.
It isn't love that makes the world go round, you see,
It's the power of gravity,
But please don't tell Mary Jean.
Down, de-down, down, down.
Without Earth's gravity
To keep us in our place,
We'd have no weight at all,
We'd be in outer space.
The sea would float away,
And so would fields and towns,
Nothin' pullin' us down, down, down, down, down, yeah.
Isaac Newton underneath the apple tree,
(Apple tree, yeah)
One hit him on the head,
He said, "That must be gravity!."
Newton's Law of Gravity says that every object in the Universe pulls on every other object. The bigger the object, the stronger the pull. But the greater the distance between the objects, the weaker the pull becomes.
Come back, Mary Jean!
Don't call me clumsy,
Don't call me a fool.
When things fall down on me,
I'm following the rule;
The rule that says that what goes up, comes down, like me,
I'm a victim of down, down, down, down gravity.
Sho-be doo, down, down, down.

Earth is not suspended in Space, there is no gravity in space.
Gravity is experienced by bodies with large masses.
But for amore interesting answer, the earth rests on turtles and there are turtles all the way down.

Earth count is persevering with and you're outstanding; if we did deliver supplies to area, we'd be dropping count. although, while in comparison with something of the subject in the international and the surplus of fabric we've in the international, one spacecraft while in comparison with something of the international is nearly a water drop in an excellent barrel. The issues that we placed out into outer area are very small relative to something of the international's count and mass. and in spite of this, the flaws we placed into area (satellites and whatnot) are obligatory to lots of the alerts we get for specific on the spot gadgets back in the international. Cheers!

It doesn't -- there is no up or down in space.
Earth is constantly falling toward the Sun, but fortunately it's moving fast enough that it misses. (That is the definition of an object in orbit.) The Sun is also falling constantly toward the galactic core, but it too is moving.
There is a simple rule of thumb for understanding physics in unfamiliar physical environments: DO NOT RELY ON YOUR EVERYDAY EXPERIENCE, because it's not valid in most situations.

Nothing holds it "up." Gravitational forces between Earth, the sun and other planets keep the Earth in its orbit in the vacuum of space.

there is no up or down, in fact there are 11 demention in space, and earth is NOT being Suspended by anything

we are actually the center of all/existence/anything/universe/etc. Space is just stuck around us!

if you want a soild floor to stand on...
read einstein's theory of relavity and newton's second law or third one...
.....
sting theory
or simple... rent and watch Nova string theory by brian *last name i forgot*
google it up (nova pbs)
