Explain Like I'm 5

Ooh, gravity is like a big hug from the Earth!

You know how when you give your favorite toy a big hug, you pull it close to you? Gravity is like that, but instead of hugging a toy, the Earth is hugging everything on it, including you!

That means everything on the Earth gets pulled down towards the ground. That's why you don't float off into space when you're standing on the playground. The Earth's gravity is giving you a big hug, keeping you safe and sound on the ground!
