Air has layers and the air everyone breaths is heavy, and gravity can affect it. Gravity can affect light and sound, but helium will not get affected as much as they do. The planets size affects its gravity and mass. Gravity deforms the space around it. Gravity is still not fully explained. Gravity can be measured in many ways, like this one, F = G(mass1*mass2)/D squared.
It is harder to throw objects in heavier gravity. A planet makes gravity because its size makes mass witch makes gravity. Gravity can also be called density. When a planet is smaller it has less gravity, and the other way around. The same is unable to be said about black holes. Black holes gravity is massive even if it was the size of a penny.
People may float in lower gravity. There is gravity in space, just a very small amount. The planets are being shifted slightly by the gravity of each other planet. The earth keeps the moon in orbit by using inertia and gravity at the same time. The sun is the same, it uses it large amount of gravity and all the planet inertia to hold them in an orbit. Everything is held in place by the sun, but also the galaxy is held in place by a black hole in the center of the galaxy.

Nothing can escape a black hole, even light it self. If two large amounts of gravity came to close to each other, they would distorted each other. There are two galaxies orbiting each other and one is stealing the stars from the other. The two galaxies pull at each other even if you can see it in motion. Stars in the galaxys get pulled apart and anything in the galaxy is most likely
the planets fall around the Sun. Each of these objects balances the Sun 's force of gravity
Common types of black holes are produced by certain dying stars. A star with a mass greater than 20 times the mass of our sun can produce a black hole at the end of its life. Black holes are usually only created by the death of a very massive star. When a very massive star dies, it explodes into a supernova. The outer parts of the star are launched violently into space while the core completely collapses under its own weight. If the core remaining after the giant explosion from the supernova is very massive, there
Gravity is the force which attracts an object to the center of the earth, and toward any other physical object having mass. Issac Newton and Albert Einstein both contributed to today's knowledge of gravity.Newton started working in 1687 by scratch, he knew nothing about gravity it until he saw an apple fall. Newton dint have much friends growing up because he would lock himself in his room and brainstorming ideas about how gravity could work. A few decades later Einstein started brainstorming off Newtons work to get an even better understanding of it.
Gravity is the force of attraction that holds everything in its place, like the planets in orbit around the sun.
i. The difference between a star and a planet is that a star undergoes a nuclear reaction that burns hydrogen at their core, planets do not. In order to burn hydrogen at the core an object needs to have a very large mass, like that of stars. There is also a difference in the way that stars and planets form. Stars form when a cloud of gas collapses under the pressure of gravity. Planets, however, form when material in the disk around a pre-existing star beings to condense. Other major differences is that the stars have their own light and planets do not. Planets are small in size compared to stars, also stars are at a constant point and planets revolve around the sun.
he relationship between mass and weight can also be applied in context of the location of the moon. The gravitational pull on the moon is 1.622 m/s/s. Ones mass would not differ at all if they were on the moon, because mass is related to the amount of matter (stuff) that composes the object. The mass of an object will be the same no matter where in the universe that object is located. Mass is never altered by location, gravity, or other forces. A person would not have more weight on the moon, and in fact would have a decreased amount of weight. The weight of an object will vary according to where the object is located in the universe, because weight depends upon which planet is exerting the force and the distance the object is from the planet.
Although the basic formation process is understood, one perennial mystery in the science of black holes is that they appear to exist on two radically different size scales. On the one end, there are the countless black holes that are the remnants of massive stars. Peppered throughout the Universe, these "stellar mass" black holes are generally 10 to 24 times as massive as the Sun. Astronomers spot them when another star draws near enough for some of the matter surrounding it to be snared by the black hole 's gravity, churning out x-rays in the process. Most stellar black holes, however, lead isolated lives and are impossible to detect. Judging from the number of stars large enough to produce such black holes, however, scientists estimate that there are as many as ten million to a billion such black holes in the Milky
A blackhole occurs when a giant or supergiant start dies. But before the star dies their is a fusion reaction going on constantly throughout its life time. This fusion reaction can be di erent from star to star ff depending on its age. For a young star the reaction is a proton to proton fusion, a middle aged star can have a carbon reaction and a much older star, which is collapsing on itself has a helium fusion reaction. Once a star has finished reacting all of the helium it has the core begins to 'eat' it's self instead of the helium. This makes the core have a stronger and stronger gravitational pull. After the core has 'eaten or suck up everything into its fusion reaction it collapses due to so much compressed mass in a small space which forms a giant explosion creating a supernova which then turns into a singularity. Thus
Normal stars (like the Sun) shine because there is nuclear fusion inside them, hydrogen nuclei fuse together to form helium nuclei, helium nuclei fuse together to form carbon nuclei, and so on. Nuclear fusion generates heat and light which make the stars shine. Also, this heat provides outwards pressure which balances the inward gravitational pull, making the star stable. This inward gravitational pull exist for every object - you, me, the earth, the sun, other stars, etc. Every atom of an object experiences gravitational pull towards its centre due to its own mass. But for small objects like the earth, this inward gravitational pull is negligibly small, but not for the stars. Remember the Sun is 333054 times heavier than the earth, and it is one of the
After the conduction of ‘part A: changing the mass’ of this investigation it was revealed that the relevant experiment’s hypothesis was not proven. However, after the conduction of ‘part B: changing the surface area’ of this investigation it was revealed that the relevant experiment’s hypothesis was proven, and hence the gravitational acceleration slowed down with an increase in surface area. A number of factors have been discovered regarding the impact mass has on gravitational acceleration, investigated in part A. In table 1 it could be seen that the speeds at which the masses fell were relatively similar, with some variance, the maximum being -0.29m/s. It could also be seen that the gravitational accelerations of the masses were somewhat
Mysteries of black holes always unknown as in where they come from. “Black holes form when the center of a massive star collapses in on itself.” When this occurs, it causes a supernova. A supernova is a star that increases greatly in brightness because of a catastrophic explosion that ejects most of its mass. The parts left over from the supernova collapse in onto itself forming a black hole. This well-known black hole is called a stellar mass black hole. “Scientists believe supermassive black holes have formed at
Since the beginning of time itself, large objects have been attracted to one another by a mysterious force. This mysterious force led to the creation of all the galaxies, stars, and life in the universe. Humans have been predicted to have existed for almost 6 million years, and it was only 300 years ago that intelligent life had made an attempt to explain the unknown force. In 1687 a man named Isaac Newton published study called “Discourse concerning Gravity and its Properties”. Newton’s paper described this mysterious force that he called gravity as an invisible force that is directly proportional to the product of their masses and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them. About 200 years later, Albert Einstein
Gravity impacted the solar system in forming ,and still impacts our solar system today. Gravity does a lot of things to our universe and solar system here are a few. In Origins of Everything it states “Another possibility of the future of the evolutionary Universe is that gravity of all the matter might eventually pull everything back together again in a gigantic collapse that explodes and starts the Universe all over again.” This is a possibility because it happened once and maybe it will happen again. ANother example of something gravity can do is from Gravity and Orbits, I said that in the simulation with the gravity on, the orbits stayed the same and weren’t erratic but with the gravity of the planets flew off into space and so would the sun. My last piece of evidence that gravity has a huge part of formation of our solar system is from Objects in Orbit. “ Gravity kept pulling matter toward the center of the disk… The center of the disk became hotter and hotter.” Gravity is the reason we are here today, it made our star then our planets and keeps us from floating off into space.
In order to explain the effects of gravity we must begin by explaining what causes the phenomenon. Objects with mass warp space time. The idea that space and time possess the ability to be curved or warped is recent. Before, the axioms of Euclidean geometry were considered to be true. One of the consequences of these axioms is that the angles of a triangle add up to 180°. Considering for example, the surface of the Earth. The closest thing to a straight line we have is a curve. These are the shortest distances between two points, the same routes that our airplanes use. Now consider a triangle on the surface of the earth. The angles of a triangle on a curved are larger than those on a flat surface resulting in a triangle with more than 180(degrees).
The concept of gravitational attraction can be understood by considering weight, which is the gravitational force that the earth exerts on an object, on or near its surface. Without gravitational attraction, the earth would not be in the sun’s orbit, rain would not fall, rivers would not flow and the sea would be a mass of stagnant water. With more exploration of space and new technology, we are now able to examine the effects that gravitational attraction has on earth and its living inhabitants.
