Zero gravity, often depicted in science fiction and space documentaries, is a fascinating concept that sparks curiosity and ...

We call this g (lower case), the "acceleration due to gravity." This is the famous legend that has Galileo dropping objects from the Leaning Tower of Pisa. It tells us that the gravitational force ...

If gravity reversed on the sun, McCluskey said he’d be scared because it is the only thing keeping the sun together. Nuclear fusion, inside the sun, pushes outward. Without gravity, the sun would ...

Drag (air resistance) opposes acceleration due to gravity. In a vacuum, such as on the Moon, both objects will hit the ground at the same time. How does gravity work?

It is mysterious to many scientists why gravity is boosted by about 40% when the internal acceleration between the orbiting pair of stars is weaker than about 0.1 nanometer per second squared.

To “hear” the gravitational force on their 0.43-milligram particle, ... is how they are able to get the temperature so low and maintain such exquisitely low acceleration noises,” Adhikari says.
