Swimming or rowing a boat: When swim or move in a roving boat, you have to push the water backward in order to move forward.

Walking: While we walk, we apply a force in the backward direction, and in response, the friction provides an equal and opposite force which helps us to move forward.

Gravity is a force that tries to pull two objects toward each other.

Earth’s gravity is what keeps us on the ground.

Earth’s gravity is why the objects fall down rather than up!

The earth orbits the sun. Our moon orbits the earth. Many of the other planets in our solar system also have moons that orbit them. This is because of gravity.

Isaac Newton is considered one of the most important scientists in history. During his lifetime Newton developed the theory of gravity, the laws of motion, which became the basis for physics. He was also well known for his work for colors.
