Study Notes

Gravity and Mass

Gravity is the force that attracts everything towards the Earth or other planets and objects in space.
The force by which a planet or other body attracts objects to its center is called gravity.
Gravity is what keeps the planets in orbit around the Sun.

Mass

The amount of matter in an object is called its mass.
Mass is not the same as weight, although the two terms are often used interchangeably.
Weight is the force exerted on an object by gravity, and it can vary depending on the gravitational field it's in, whereas mass remains constant.
