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 every object in the universe; without it, matter would not have coalesced into masses and life 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; the formation of tides; and various other natural phenomena that we observe.

The universe is governed by gravity. The law of universal gravitation states that all objects in the universe have gravity and exert it uniformly to all sides. The strength of the force is governed by the amount of mass that is in that particular area. Earth has a gravitational pull of 9.8m/s/s This means gravity creates acceleration, the longer the uneven force is applied, the faster an object gets. A falling object on earths velocity will start out at 0 meters a second. After 1 second of falling its velocity will have accelerated to 9.8 meters/s, after another second it will have accelerated to 19.6m/s and after another second it will increase to 29.4 m/s.

A fundamental physical force that is responsible for interactions which occur because of mass between particles, between aggregations of matter (as stars and planets)

1. the force of attraction by which terrestrial bodies tend to fall toward the center of the earth. 2. weight or heaviness.
