Explain Like I'm 5

Gravity is like a big hug from the Earth!

You know how when you give your favorite toy a big hug, you want to keep it close to you? That's kind of what the Earth is doing to everything on it, including YOU!

The Earth is a big ball, and it wants to keep everything close to it, so it pulls everything towards it. That's why you don't float off into space when you're standing on the ground. You're stuck to the Earth with a big, invisible hug!

And that's gravity! It's like the Earth's way of saying, "Hey, I love you, and I want to keep you close!"
