Gravity is like a big hug from the Earth!

Imagine you're playing with your favorite toy on the floor. You throw it up in the air, and what happens? It comes back down to the floor, right?

That's because the Earth is giving your toy a big hug! The Earth's hug is called gravity. It pulls everything towards itself, so you don't float off into space.

Gravity is what keeps you on the ground, what makes things fall down, and what makes planets orbit around the sun. It's like a big, gentle squeeze that keeps everything connected and safe!
