1 Space And Gravity Ben Kendall 9B

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

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

4 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.

5 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.

6 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.

7 Identifying Our Planets In Our Solar System
