Gravity is the thing that pulls everything into its field. Once an object like a moon enters a planets field it’s original velocity is still present. This causes that moon to not crash completely into the planet.

A long time ago, gravity helped combine materials together, which led to the creation of planets, stars, and much more. The gravitational force in space helps keep planets in orbit around the sun and moon. If gravity is strong, it will make a galaxy have a spiral shape. If the gravitational force is weak, the galaxy is more likely to have an irregular shape. Overall, gravitational force has an effect on the shapes of galaxies because it helps keep planets in orbit. ]]> 2019-11-08 19:10:45 UTC https://padlet.com/dawn_castillo/factorfiction/wish/408831492 llee410 https://padlet.com/dawn_castillo/factorfiction/wish/408832109 Fact because gravity holds the planets, stars, etc.]]> 2019-11-08 19:11:40 UTC https://padlet.com/dawn_castillo/factorfiction/wish/408832109 https://padlet.com/dawn_castillo/factorfiction/wish/408832243 I assume that they are talking about you being in space than planets]]> 2019-11-08 19:11:54 UTC https://padlet.com/dawn_castillo/factorfiction/wish/408832243 https://padlet.com/dawn_castillo/factorfiction/wish/408832597 2019-11-08 19:12:30 UTC https://padlet.com/dawn_castillo/factorfiction/wish/408832597 https://padlet.com/dawn_castillo/factorfiction/wish/408832789 This statement is a fact because our weight depends on the gravity of different planets and areas.]]> 2019-11-08 19:12:49 UTC https://padlet.com/dawn_castillo/factorfiction/wish/408832789 https://padlet.com/dawn_castillo/factorfiction/wish/408833044 There is gravity in space. I know this because there are planets and stars in space, which were created because of gravity. A long time ago, gravity combined materials in space and created planets and stars. ]]> 2019-11-08 19:13:12 UTC https://padlet.com/dawn_castillo/factorfiction/wish/408833044 https://padlet.com/dawn_castillo/factorfiction/wish/408833550 Fact: Our universe was formed by a collection of mass that was created by the gravity pushing it together.
