Uses Of Gravity In Everyday Life.

1. The force that keeps the Earth and all of the planets in line in the proper position in
their orbits around the sun.
2. The force that causes the moon to revolve around the Earth and this makes the
existence of daytime and nightime.
3. The force that keeps you walking on Earth instead of floating away into space.
4. It holds gases in the atsmosphere.
5. Gravity lets pendulum keep time.
6. Causes tides in the ocean.
7. Bends light.
8. It also provides energy like from old-fashioned watermills to modern hydroelectric
plants, putting something in the way of falling water is a time-honored way to turn
gravitational energy into mechanical or electrical energy. Also, when we harness
the wind, we indirectly harness gravitational as well as solar energy since both
the Sun's heat and the Earth's gravity contribute to the atmosphere's motion.
9. Gravity helps in boosting of spacecraft.
10.
Gravitational lensing can also help our telescopes to see objects whose
light is dimmed by extraordinary distances.
11.
Gravity helps hunting planets around other stars.
12.
One notion for deflecting an asteroid headed for collision with our planet is
to use the gravity of a spacecraft as a "tractor beam." If deployed at a great
enough distance from Earth, even the tiny gravity of a spacecraft flying close to
an asteroid might alter the asteroid's trajectory enough to make it miss hitting us.
13. Gravity helps probe black holes and big bang.
