Gravity worksheet with word bank and fill-in-the-blank questions for educational use.

Let's solve this Gravity worksheet step by step using the Word Bank provided:

Word Bank:

- center
- color
- down
- fall
- fly
- gravity
- ground
- mass
- pulls
- same
- sun
- unequal
- upright
- weight
- wind

> Note: Not all terms are used. Some may be used more than once.

Now, let’s go through each question and fill in the correct word(s) from the bank.

---

1. The force of gravity always _________.
→ Gravity is a pulling force.
✔ pulls

2. The pull is always toward the _________ of the planet.
→ Gravity pulls toward the center of mass.
✔ center

3. Galileo discovered that two objects of ___________ weight fell at the same speed.
→ Galileo showed that objects of different masses (weights) fall at the same rate in a vacuum.
✔ unequal
*(So, objects with unequal weights fall at the same speed.)*

4. On the moon, the weight / color of objects makes a difference to the pull of gravity.
→ The *color* doesn't affect gravity. Only mass/weight matters. But on the Moon, *weight* differs due to lower gravity. However, the sentence says "makes a difference"—but color does not affect gravity at all. So we must choose the one that *does* matter.
✔ weight
*(Because weight depends on gravity; but the statement is tricky. Actually, the pull of gravity is the same for all objects regardless of weight—so it's misleading. But since "color" is clearly irrelevant, the correct answer is weight, because weight is what changes under different gravity. But wait—the pull of gravity on the Moon is less, so lighter things weigh less—but the *pull* is proportional to mass. So the sentence is poorly worded. Still, “color” is not relevant. So the correct choice is weight—because the *effect* of gravity (i.e., weight) varies.)*
✔ weight

5. The orbit of the earth is caused by the gravity of the _________.
→ Earth orbits the Sun due to the Sun’s gravity.
✔ sun

6. Our weight comes from the _________ of the world, our mass, and the force of gravity.
→ Weight = mass × gravity. But here, the blank is about the mass of the world? Wait — no. Let's re-read:
"Our weight comes from the _________ of the world..."
That doesn’t make sense. Probably meant: “the gravity of the world…” or “the mass of the world.”
But the correct physics: Our weight is due to Earth’s gravity pulling on our mass.
So:
✔ gravity
*(But “gravity” is already listed. And “mass” is also an option. But “gravity” fits better.)*
Wait — actually, gravity is the force, and it comes from the mass of the Earth. But the sentence says: “our weight comes from the _________ of the world…”
So it should be: mass — because the Earth's mass creates gravity.
✔ mass

7. All the planets orbit / rotate the sun because of the sun's gravity.
→ This is a true statement, but there's no blank. Wait — check again:
It says: “All the planets orbit / rotate the sun because of the sun's gravity.”
There's no blank. But there's a triangle and number 7.
Maybe it's just a statement — perhaps it's meant to be checked? But no blank.
→ No word needed. Possibly a typo or formatting issue.
✔ (No answer needed)

8. Without gravity, the planets would _________ off where in a straight direction.
→ Without gravity, planets would fly off in straight lines (due to inertia).
✔ fly

9. When jumping out of a plane, there is a point where the force of the _________ equals the force of gravity.
→ Terminal velocity occurs when air resistance (wind) equals gravity.
✔ wind

10. Jupiter, because it is bigger than the Earth, has much more _________.
→ Bigger means more mass → stronger gravity.
✔ mass

11. Leaves fall to the _________ because of gravity.
→ They fall to the ground.
✔ ground

12. When you are riding your bike, you are fighting gravity to remain _________.
→ You stay upright against gravity.
✔ upright

13. Gravity causes things to _________ straight down.
→ Things fall downward.
✔ fall

14. No matter where on earth you go, gravity remains the _________.
→ Gravity is roughly the same everywhere on Earth (same strength).
✔ same

15. Everything is pulled up / down by gravity.
→ Gravity pulls down, not up.
✔ down

Final Answers:

1. pulls
2. center
3. unequal
4. weight
5. sun
6. mass
7. *(No blank – statement only)*
8. fly
9. wind
10. mass
11. ground
12. upright
13. fall
14. same
15. down

Summary of Used Words:

- pulls ✔
- center ✔
- unequal ✔
- weight ✔
- sun ✔
- mass ✔
- fly ✔
- wind ✔
- ground ✔
- upright ✔
- fall ✔
- same ✔
- down ✔

Unused words: color, gravity (used as a concept but not directly filled in), gravity was in the bank but not needed as a fill-in — but note: “gravity” appears in the sentence #15 but not as a blank. So it’s not used in blanks.

Wait — let's double-check if gravity was used?

In #1: "The force of gravity always pulls" — so "gravity" is mentioned, but not in the blank. The blank is filled with "pulls".

So gravity is not used as a fill-in word. But it's in the word bank — okay, not all are used.

So final list of fill-in answers:

| # | Answer |
|---|------------|
| 1 | pulls |
| 2 | center |
| 3 | unequal |
| 4 | weight |
| 5 | sun |
| 6 | mass |
| 7 | (no blank) |
| 8 | fly |
| 9 | wind |
|10 | mass |
|11 | ground |
|12 | upright |
|13 | fall |
|14 | same |
|15 | down |
