Whether we realize it or not Newton’s three laws of gravity affect us in a huge way on an an everyday basis. Newton’s three laws are: an object at rest stays at rest and an object in motion stays in motion with the same speed and in the same direction unless acted upon by an outside force, a force must be equal to the mass times the acceleration, and for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction.
