Gravity
Gravity is a force. It is gravity that holds things to the Earth’s surface and prevents things from floating off into the atmosphere.
Isaac Newton was one of the first scientists to write about this force. There is a story that Isaac Newton was sitting under an apple tree in his garden when an apple fell downwards onto his head. “Why didn’t it float up into the sky ?” he thought. Isaac Newton realised that there is a strong force, which pulls things towards the Earth that is called gravity.
When you jump up into the air, your energy pushes your body off the ground but the force of gravity pulls you back down again. An aeroplane needs powerful engines to launch it into the air, and then the shape of the wings keeps it up.
There is gravity on the moon but it is much weaker than Earth’s gravity. When the American astronauts landed on the moon in 1969, they could leap and jump higher and more easily than on the Earth because the pull of gravity was less strong.
Fill in the blank spaces:
1. Gravity is a ____________________.
2. ____________________pulls things to the Earth’s surface.
3. ____________________was one of the first scientists to find out about this force.
4. An ____________________fell downwards onto the scientist’s head.
5. Your ____________________ helps you to jump up into the air, but the force of____________________ pulls you back down again.
6. An aeroplane needs ____________________to take off.
7. Gravity on the Moon is ____________________ than gravity on the Earth.

So Many Satellites!
At this moment, there are more than 2,400 artificial satellites orbiting the earth! A satellite is
any object that circles a planet. The moon is a natural satellite. Machines that people make
and send into space are artificial satellites.
There are many different kinds of satellites. Weather satellites are used not only to predict
the weather, but also to monitor the effect of storms and other natural events.
Communication satellites connect people on airplanes, ships, and rural areas. There are TV
satellites and satellites for space research. If you use a GPS to keep from getting lost, you
are using a network of 20 satellites. GPS stands for Global Positioning Systems.
Some satellites orbit close to the Earth. They are only about 180 miles (300 km) above us. A
close-orbiting satellite can circle the earth in about 90 minutes. Other satellites orbit far
above the Earth. A satellite that is 22,187 miles (35,786 km) above the Earth has an orbit of
exactly 24 hours. If the satellite orbits above the equator, it will always stay in the same place
relative to the Earth. Weather and communications satellites use this type of geostationary
orbit.
