Nobody knows. One could say gravity, but there's merely a correlation between objects falling and gravity.

How can you call me dumb? My comment's inanity is only correlated with my intellect. You cannot reasonably conclude that my stupid comment was CAUSED by my intellect. Therefore you cannot, in good faith, call me a dummy. Say it with me.

how do you know? what if somebody know, but they much to lazy to say so? even so, how could you test that they know if they told you so?

You cannot test causations. Only correlations. And correlation does not equal causation.

The sun is much larger than the Earth, and the Earth is under the Sun's gravitational influence and not the other way around. So why don't things fall up?

Why don’t satellites fall to the earth? Why do astronauts on the ISS experience “zero gravity”?

the earth has it's own gravity well that is inside the suns gravity well, think..inception

The Sun's gravity is strong enough to influence the Earth but not the things which reside upon it?

>> No.12679334

They are falling into earth, just that their velocity makes them "fall around" the earth. If you slowed them down the orbit would degrade and they would fall. Same goes for astronauts

>> No.12679336

>>12676893
because they are put in the air without solid support from below
and things in the air go from up to down
PROOF: consider rain.

>> No.12679362

>>12679331
yes, the sun has a huge gravity well that the earth speeds around inside of.
the earth has it's own gravity well that is speeding around with it, taking the moon and all the satellites with it.
gravity is strongest at the center of a mass.
Think of space being collapsed inward to create mass and borrowing space from all around it, stretching everything and causing a 3D curve

>Why do astronauts on the ISS experience “zero gravity”?
if you jumped off a tall enough building, or went on a dive in an airplane you'd also experience zero gravity because you'd no longer be accelerating, you wouldn't feel any forces acting on you and no earth pushing back against you

Earth is moving at pretty large speed to the side, therefore, raindrops are also moving to the side.

True answer is that centrifugal force of object traveling at 26123 or so km/h is equal to gravity force imposed about objects traveling at said speed.
