Weight, however, is the measure of gravity's affect on an object's mass.]]> 2017-11-30 19:55:38 UTC https://padlet.com/hlinar24/pyzyx9o4nds0/wish/212052458 hlinar24 https://padlet.com/hlinar24/pyzyx9o4nds0/wish/212053758 Because weight is the measure of gravity's affect on an object's mass, this means that different objects, with different masses, will have different affects on any object close enough to its gravitational field. This means that Pluto will have less gravitational affect on a passing asteroid than if the same asteroid were to pass the Sun.]]> 2017-11-30 19:58:16 UTC https://padlet.com/hlinar24/pyzyx9o4nds0/wish/212053758 hlinar24 https://padlet.com/hlinar24/pyzyx9o4nds0/wish/212113558 Size is an important factor,when considered with the density of a planet, but the gravity of a planet is not determined mainly on size. However, the size of a planet does allow the planet to reach further with its gravitational field, and, being in an orbit with the Sun, does cause their matter to compact, making their size mostly proportional to their amount of mass. As previously mentioned, the more mass an object has, the more gravitational force, and the larger the gravitational field it has. There are numerous theories that tie into what gravity is, whether its simply a force, or more the curvature in space time, space and time being two very observable aspects of the universe.]]> 2017-11-30 23:49:17 UTC https://padlet.com/hlinar24/pyzyx9o4nds0/wish/212113558 hlinar24 https://padlet.com/hlinar24/pyzyx9o4nds0/wish/212115149 As a not-so-small debriefing, gravity is most commonly described as a force. More so, it is what causes any objects with mass to be attracted towards each other. On day to day terms, it's not all too influential, besides controlling tides and keeping everything on Earth from floating away, and this is because, on a galactic scale, most objects we encounter on Earth don't contain much mass. It's definitely much more powerful when describing the orbiting of planets around the Sun, and why most large bodies in space tend to be round. Because of the gravity on Earth, people will feel the need to use the bathroom when their bladder is about a third of the way full! One source even stated that gravity is actually more based on energy, light, and other similar particles instead of mass. One theory states that, after the Big Bang occurred and mass was created along with the objects that contain it, gravity was born as the first force in the entire universe. And to be blunt, gravity has affected everything about our lives up to this point, even though it's very subtle. Below is a visual representation of gravity in the form of quite a few marbles slowly 'orbiting' closer towards an object with great mass, upon a spandex table.]]> 2017-12-01 00:04:55 UTC https://padlet.com/hlinar24/pyzyx9o4nds0/wish/212115149 hlinar24 https://padlet.com/hlinar24/pyzyx9o4nds0/wish/212116757 Below is another way to observe the sort of curvature caused by a body of mass in space, or in this case, Earth. Its gravitational field bends the space around it, which is the area in which outside objects will be pulled in. Of course, the effect of this action relies on the mass of the outside object.]]> 2017-12-01 00:19:00 UTC https://padlet.com/hlinar24/pyzyx9o4nds0/wish/212116757
