Although the ground feels immovable, in reality, all life on Earth is on the outside of an 8,000-mile-diameter "spaceship" that is twirling on its axis and sweeping around the galaxy. This book explains how astronomers can tell that Earth is going through such gyrations and the dramatic effects those motions have on the planet.

Since Isaac Newton outlined his law of universal gravitation more than three centuries ago, scientists have made remarkable strides in understanding this force. Gravity, and How It Works grounds students by providing a solid explanation of how Newton and other scientists discovered the properties of the most important force in the universe.
