What Causes ‘Gravity’ and Why Do We Feel It?

Gravity is like a hug from the Earth. Imagine you're holding a ball, and when you let go, it falls to the ground, why? Because the Earth pulls everything toward it, just like a big, invisible hand. This pull happens because of gravity, and we feel it in our bones every time we walk or jump.
