Ever since Isaac Newton famously talked about gravity, its dominance as a force in our solar system has been well known. It's responsible for the orbits of the planets and their satellites, but there ...

A new study has revealed that gravity’s effect on Earth is constantly shaping the surface of our planet. When our planet formed, it did so by pulling dust and rock toward its gravitational field.

"With an orbital period of 570 days, it is a relatively cold gas giant planet," said Guðmundur Stefánsson of the University ...

Brian Cox: Gravity is the force that keeps our feet firmly rooted to our planet. Yet although it may appear constant and unchanging, this force varies on all the planets in the solar system and on ...

Blue Origin just launched a first-of-its kind mission to suborbital space. The company, which was founded by Amazon's Jeff ...

Since it is a force, weight is measured in Newtons (not kilograms). The force of gravity is different on different planets, so the weight of an object on different planets (or moons) is different ...

Beautiful photos of the six planets aligned in the night sky have emerged online. Mars, Jupiter, Uranus, Neptune, Venus and Saturn are all currently lined up in a row and will be visible in the night ...

This is one of a series of images taken by the ESA/JAXA BepiColombo mission on 8 January 2025 as the spacecraft sped by for its sixth and final gravity assist manoeuvre at the planet. Flying over ...
