this week in science, we learned more on the unit force. We discovered that there is gravity,"Force of the Earth puling on us": is weight.
We also discussed the idea of the mass or massiveness. Mass is the amount of matter that is consisted in a substance.
Mass is what gives us weight. It is because the mass of a substance is pulling down on us, that of force that is pulling down on us gives us our weight!
In space, there is no gravity until we come close to a huge mass like the moon or another planet. So, if we launch a rocket into space, the rocket will stay in the course that we put it in. Then the rocket will start accelerating toward a mass because of the mass' gravity is bulling down on the rocket toward the mass. So eventually, with the gaining acceleration of our rocket, the rocket will crash into the mass.
Since the moon has a lesser gravity than the Earth, the moon will have a less pull on the objects near it. Or less gravity in the objects near it.
