LEOKUM For 300 years scientists have studied gravitation. They can measure its strength and tell other things about it. But the What is gravitaquestion: tion? is still a mystery. The words gravity and gravitation are both used to describe the pull of one object upon another. Every object in the universe attracts every other object, and scientists usually refer to this as gravitation. When of this speaking attraction at the surface of the earth or other planets, they nse the term gravity. "Belvedere always calls for an Inspection when to a new pet food."

A body that has a lot of matter has a let of gravitaion. The earth has more matter than the moon, so the earths pull of gravitation is stronger than the moons. Secondly, the strength of gravitation depends on the distance between the bodies. It is strong between bodies close together. It is weak between bodies far apart. The strength of gravity is not the same at all places on earth. There are two things that determine the strength of gravity at any place. One is the distance from the center of the earth. And two is the spin of the earth. earth behaves as if all Its matter were at its center.

If the earths gravity pulls on a man with a force of 150 pounds, then the mans weight is 153 pounds. This same man, with the same mass, would weigh 25 pounds cn the moon, because the pull of gravity on h the moon is of that on earth. PMI Li! one-sixt- he.
