Gravity
Gravity or
gravitation is a
natural phenomenon by which all things with
energy are brought towards (or 'gravitate' towards) one another, including
stars,
planets,
galaxies and even
light and
sub-atomic particles. Gravity is responsible for the complexity in the
universe, by creating spheres of hydrogen — where hydrogen fuses under pressure to form stars — and grouping them into galaxies. On
Earth, gravity gives
weight to physical objects and causes the tides. Gravity has an infinite range, although its effects become increasingly weaker on farther objects.
