Even if you are a good high-jumper, you can jump only about seven feet off the ground. You cannot
jump any higher because the earth pulls you hard. The pull of the earth is called gravity.
You can easily find out the pull of the earth. If you weigh yourself, you will know how much gravity
is pulling you.
Since there is gravity, water runs down hills. When you throw a ball into the air, it falls back down.
Because of gravity, you do not fall off the earth as it whirls (旋转) around.
Then, can we get away from the earth and go far out into space? Now you can do it, because
spaceships have been invented. Then the spaceship will go so fast that it can escape (逃出) the earth's
gravity and carry you into space.
