Space And Gravity Ben Kendall 9B

What Is Gravity? the force that attracts a body towards the centre of the earth, or towards any other physical body having mass.

What Is Mass? a large body of matter with no definite shape.

What Is Weight? a body's relative mass or the quantity of matter contained by it, giving rise to a downward force; the heaviness of a person or thing.

What Are The Differences Between Mass And Weight? In the physical sciences, mass and weight are different. The mass of an object is a measure of the amount of matter in the object. Weight is a measure of the force on the object caused by a gravitational field. In other words, weight is how hard gravity pulls on an object.

Elliptical Orbit In astrodynamics or celestial mechanics an elliptic orbit is a Kepler orbit with the eccentricity less than 1; this includes the special case of a circular orbit, with eccentricity equal to zero.
