Gravity is like a big hug from the Earth!

You know how when you give your favorite toy or stuffed animal a big squeeze? You want to keep them close to you, right?

The Earth is like a big, giant toy box, and it wants to keep everything close to it too! So, it gives everything a big hug with its gravity. That's why you don't float off into space when you're standing on the ground. The Earth is hugging you and keeping you safe on its surface.

And that's gravity! It's like a big, cozy hug from the Earth!
