Solution

Definition

Gravity seems to be a force that pulls an object forward towards the centre point of the earth and every other mass-bearing physical state.

  1. In 1687, Sir Isaac Newton was the first to demonstrate gravity. He was sitting beneath an apple tree suddenly he noticed an apple falling from the tree. Afterwards, he keep trying to figure out why the apple fell down rather than up, left, as well as right. There's been definitely an unidentified force at work throughout this environment, which Newton referred to be gravity.
  2. Later in the early 20th century, Albert Einstein created a novel idea of gravity. He says that gravity seems to be the bending of space and time.

Examples of gravity

  1. Gravity seems to be responsible for water settling there at bottom of the bottle instead of floating at the peak.
  2. The sun's gases have been gravitationally bonded together.

Therefore, gravity is the universal attraction force occurring between all materials.
