Gravity is like an invisible friend who stops things from floating away. When you jump, it pulls you back to the ground. It's the reason why we walk, not float! It even keeps the Earth and other planets moving around the sun. Fun Fact: On the moon, gravity is much weaker – that's why astronauts bounce around!
