"Gravity is the force by which a planet or other body draws objects toward its center. The force of gravity keeps all of the planets in orbit around the sun."
"In Principia, Newton described gravity as an ever-present force, a tug that all objects exert on nearby objects. The more mass an object has, the stronger its tug. Increasing the distance between two objects weakens the attraction."
"Einstein suggested, that maybe gravity isn’t best described as a force. It may be better described as a bending of 4-dimensional spacetime.
Which is a fancy way of saying (very roughly) that gravity causes space itself to fall towards heavy objects (like planets and stars), pulling any mass (such as yourself) inside it along, on a path that very closely resembles those suggested by Newton’s model of gravity as a force."
you're telling me I don't know anything about the heliocentric model? Ok.
Yes. You can't even come up with an explanation for seasons on a flat earth.
