Gravity is the force that pulls towards the centre of the Earth. No matter where you stand on the Earth’s surface, the ground is always ‘down’. The force of gravity depends on the mass, or amount of material, of an object — objects feel heavy because of their mass. Isaac Newton realized that gravity not only affects the Earth, but it also controls the movement of the planets and the stars, as well as the orbit of the Moon around the Earth.
