Explain Like I'm 5

Gravity is like a big hug from the Earth!

Imagine you're playing outside and you throw a ball up in the air. What happens? It comes back down to the ground, right?

That's because the Earth is giving the ball a big hug, pulling it towards itself. The Earth wants to keep everything close, so it pulls on everything that's near it, even you!

That's gravity! It's like a gentle tug that keeps us and everything else stuck to the Earth. And that's why you don't float off into space when you're playing outside!
