Universal Gravitation

Universal gravitation is a law created by Sir Isaac Newton in the late 1600's during the scientific revolution. This law states that all physical objects are affected by a natural force, gravity. Also, the force keeps planets in orbit around the sun and keeps us from flying off Earth's surface into space.

Impact of Universal Gravitaion
Newton's ideas and discoveries greatly influenced the world and our lives today. His laws of gravity helped even today's astronomers discover more about the world and our universe. Before Newton's law of gravity, the people's beliefs were based on the church's belief that spirits and divinities control the movement of objects and planets.
