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 pull it towards you? That's kind of like what the Earth is doing to everything on it, including you! The Earth is giving everything a big hug, and that's what keeps us on the ground and what makes things fall down instead of floating off into space.

It's like the Earth is saying, "Come here, little one! I love you!" And that's why we don't float away when we're standing on the ground.
