It\'s because of gravity! Gravity is a force that pulls everything towards the center of the Earth. That\'s why when you drop a ball, it falls to the ground. Gravity is also why we can walk on the Earth. It keeps our feet on the ground. Without gravity, we would float away! Can you imagine that? We would be like astronauts in space! Gravity is a very important force. It helps us stay on the Earth and keeps everything in its place.
