We’re kept attached to Earth because gravity pulls us toward it, just like a strong hug from the planet.
What Is Gravity?
Imagine you have a big, heavy ball, that’s kind of what Earth is. When you jump up in the air, you come back down because something is pulling you back. That something is gravity. It's not magic; it's just how things work when they're heavy and close to each other.
How Gravity Works Around Us
Think about playing with a magnet, if you have two magnets, one pulls the other toward it. Earth is like a giant magnet that’s always pulling everything toward its center. You, your toys, even the air around you, all of it is being pulled down to Earth.
So every time you sit on the floor or run around, gravity is giving you a little push (or pull) to keep you where you are. It's like having an invisible friend who never lets go, and that’s why we stay attached to Earth!
