GRAVITATION


What is gravitation ?

Gravitation can b edefine as the force that pulls objects with mass toward each other.





EFFECT OF GRAVITATION


  1. Keeps Us Grounded: Gravity pulls everything towards the center of the Earth, keeping people, animals, and objects on the ground.

  2. Causes Things to Fall: When you drop an object, gravity pulls it down towards the Earth.

  3. Shapes and Holds Atmosphere: Gravity keeps the Earth's atmosphere from drifting into space, allowing us to breathe.

  4. Influences Water Flow: Gravity causes rivers to flow downhill, rain to fall, and creates ocean tides influenced by the moon's gravity.

  5. Planetary Orbits: Gravity keeps planets in orbit around the sun. Without gravity, planets would drift off into space.

  6. Moon's Orbit: Gravity keeps the moon orbiting around the Earth, affecting tides and stabilizing the planet's rotation.

  7. Formation of Solar System: Gravity pulled gas and dust together to form the sun, planets, and other bodies in the solar system.

  8. Walking and Movement: Gravity provides the force that our muscles work against to move and walk.

  9. Sports and Activities: Gravity affects the trajectory of balls in sports like basketball, soccer, and baseball.

  10. Engineering and Construction: Gravity influences the design of buildings, bridges, and other structures to ensure they remain stable.

  11. Satellites and Orbits: Understanding gravity helps in placing satellites in orbit for communication, weather forecasting, and navigation.

  12. Space Exploration: Gravity assists in planning spacecraft trajectories for missions to other planets and moons.

  13. Timekeeping and Clocks: Gravitational time dilation, predicted by Einstein's theory of relativity, affects the accuracy of satellite-based clocks and is accounted for in GPS systems.



Weightlessness


What is Weightlessness ?

Weightlessness is the sensation or condition that occurs when there is no force of gravity acting on a body, or when the effects of gravity are not felt.




Satellite


What is Satellite ?

An object that orbits a planet or star, which can be natural (like moons) or artificial (like the Hubble Space Telescope).




Space Travel


What is Space travel ?

Space travel refers to the act of traveling into or through outer space.
Human Spaceflight: This involves sending astronauts into space, either to orbit the Earth, visit the Moon, or explore other planets.
