If we don’t live inside the earth and live on the outer layer, how do we not fall off?

answers:
Aven Once say: The nucleus of the planet everything creates gravity. The bigger the mass of a planet the heavier gravity is.
-
roberto say: gravih tie lia
-
nineteenthly say: Because gravity pulls objects towards the centre of the planet.
-
Ronald 7 say: Because of Earth's Mass, It has Gravity
Enough Gravity to pull it into a Globe in fact because every point on its surface is pulled towards the Gravitational centre in the core
This same Gravity pulls us down towards the centre of the Earth as well
that is why we fall down and not up
Underground, if we came across a big hole going downwards, we could still fall into it as Gravity works the whole way down
In Fact
Say we could drill a hole completely through Earth to the opposite side and line it against the Pressure and heat of course
You could jump into A4Z hole and reach your maximum Velocity right in the Centre of the Earth
Your Momentum would keep you going with The Gravity from the other side slowing you down
You would finally stop at the entrance of the other side...….Actually 45 minutes later according to Mathematics
If there were not somebody to catch you it would be a case of you Yo- yo ing back and forward

Clive say: Ever heard of gravity? And where is the "down" we would fall to?
-
Jeffrey K say: Gravity holds us on.

Dances with Weed say: We're actually made of glue. Take a few moments. I know your mind is blown

Orthodox say: earth is flat; ice dome above us; below us dinosaurs live; then three pillars, then bubble; then abyss (hell); forgive me.

say: You must be home schooled, right, Lia?
-
vic say: Dont listen to those that say gravity holds us on because the suns gravity is more powerful than earths so engineers have made a huge gonculator with that produces large amounts of electromagnetic energy that holds us on
-
say: Nancy might be able to explain it to you Alexandra.
-
MARK say: You do not fall off the earth because of gravity. Perhaps you missed that lesson in school.
-
Otis say: 300+ years and the theory of gravity hasn't reached you yet?
-
poldi2 say: Gravity.
Do they not teach even basic science in school anymore...?
-
hoarseman say: Thank god for Velcro , I say.
-
Cooper say: We don't fall off because of gravity. Even if it wasn't there you would have no place to fall because down is not real it only exists on planets with gravitational forces. Without gravity in the vacuum of space there is no such thing as down. You would simply float off into whatever direction you were pushed into until you get caught in the gravity well of another celestial body

say: Most of us wear non slip shoes.

Dev say: Gravity, that's how.

Richard say: seat belts ...........................................

duke_of_urls say: The Earth's gravity holds us onto it.
If you try jumping off, Earth's gravity will pull you back down onto it fast.
Science doesn't actually know why gravity exists, and it doesn't yet know how to control its effect on us. We do know it exists though, and we can describe how it acts.
Fortunately, the Sun has gravity too, and that prevents the Earth from flying away from it.

Acetek say: gravity.
not a lot of neurons firing there eh skippy
-
CarolOklaNola say: Fall ofg to WHERE?
Gravity is why things do not fall off Earth's mass and gravity predominate because we so close to the core. If you are using Newton's equation for universal gravitation, leave out the term for the second mass and Fo NOT divide by the square of the radius. The equation becomes Galileo's equation force equals mass times acceleration
