I was recently reading the September-October 2025 issue of "Science and Children'" a publication of the National Science Teaching Association.

In this issue, I read the section, "Science 101" written by Matt Bobrowsky. He wrote an article entitled, "Q: Is There Gravity in Space? Is There Gravity on the Moon?"

Gravity is a fundamental force that attracts two masses toward each other. The Moon, having mass, exerts a gravitational force. This force is sufficient to keep objects anchored to its surface and to influence tides in the Earth's oceans.
