I may have answered my own question hehe. |
|
Gravity makes things go down. |

Starry starry night, paint your pallet blue and gray,
Look out on a summers day,
with eyes that know the darkness of my soul.
If anything falls...blame gravity. |

To answer your question, there is a parallel between electric fields and gravitational fields. The force between two point masses (or spheres) is: G*m1*m2/r^2, where r is the distance between the points and G is the gravitational constant (see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gravitational_force ). |

Yes I did mean acceleration. All though technically, acceleration is just the change in speed...so at any given moment they are also traveling the same speed =P |

But that's being pulled towards them, which is basically down once you think about it. |

The bigger the planet, the more gravity pushes down on things. If you are on a really small planet, there won't be much gravity. |

Do a reality check.
Gravity is the bane to my existence... |

whatever it is, it hurts if you don't use it right |

Gravity is only a theory. |
