Answer:

Objects or things fall towards the earth because it pulls them , this is known as gravity.

This is also called gravitational force.

I Hope this is the answer

Explanation:

When a body is released from a height,it falls towards the Earth. Why does the body fall towards the Earth? The obvious answer is, that the Earth exerts a force on the body. Conversely, if a body is to be raised to a height, we have to apply force on the body in the direction, opposite to the force exerted by the Earth.

Sir Isaac Newton observed that the Earth, besides attracting small objects on or near it's surface, attracts planets and other heavenly bodies far away from it. He further assumed that the force of attraction exists between all objects big or small, not only on the surface of the Earth, but anywhere and everywhere in the universe, irrespective of the distances seperating them. He named this force of attraction between any two bodies as the force of gravitation.
