Here’s something to think about.
Our galaxy, the Milky Way, is part of what astronomers call the local group. It consists of the Milky Way, the Andromeda galaxy, the Large Magellan Cloud, the Small Magellan Cloud, and other smaller galaxies. The number is more than 54.
Somehow these galaxies stay in a group as they move away from other galaxy groups. There’s some kind of gravitational attraction that holds them all together. That’s a lot of gravity.
Now our 8 planets circle around our sun. The sun has enough gravitational pull to keep the planets from flying off into outer space. That’s a lot of gravity.
Our earth has a solid core with a molten core around it in the center that creates the magnetic field that creates something called the Van Allen Belt that circles the earth and blocks the “killer electrons” that are thrown out by our sun. By-the-way, if it were not for that magnetic field, we would all die in days.
The solid and molten cores also generates a gravitational field that keeps all things sticking to the earth instead of flying off into outer space. Just think. If you got in your car and if the gravitational field was not there, you would take off into outer space where you would die for lack of oxygen.
Now, let this sink in ! ! ! ! !
If you were to drop a tennis ball on the ground, which is what the gravitational pull did (pull the ball to the ground), you can still bend over and pick it up.
That’s amazing, the same gravitational pull that holds a car on the road, allows you to pick up the tennis ball. FIGURE THAT ONE OUT.
