Question

Why do children always slide down the slide and not slide up? If this slide were there in Sunita’s spacecraft, would children slide like this? Why?

Solution

Children always slide down the slide and not slide up because of an invisible pull called gravity. This pull attracts them towards the centre of the Earth.
If this slide were in Sunita’s spacecraft, then children would not be able to enjoy the slide because of zero or very less gravity in the spacecraft. They will not be able to slide down, they will float.
