Ever since Isaac Newton famously talked about gravity, its dominance as a force in our solar system has been well known. It's ...

A new study has revealed that gravity’s effect on Earth is constantly shaping the surface of our planet. When our planet formed, it did so by pulling dust and rock toward its gravitational field.

Brian Cox: Gravity is the force that keeps our feet firmly rooted to our planet. Yet although it may appear constant and unchanging, this force varies on all the planets in the solar system and on ...

By tracing the corkscrew wobble of two stars as they move through the sky, the Gaia space mission has discovered one new ...

NASA has found something on Uranus and Neptune. The ice giants of the solar system have long been enigmas for science.

Since it is a force, weight is measured in Newtons (not kilograms). The force of gravity is different on different planets, so the weight of an object on different planets (or moons) is different ...

This effect occurs because the planets orbit the Sun along a path determined by gravity, known as the “ecliptic.” This imaginary line makes the planets seem closer, even though they are far apart.

Beautiful photos of the six planets aligned in the night sky have emerged online. Mars, Jupiter, Uranus, Neptune, Venus and ...

This is one of a series of images taken by the ESA/JAXA BepiColombo mission on 8 January 2025 as the spacecraft sped by for its sixth and final gravity assist manoeuvre at the planet. Flying over ...
