Key Stage 3
Meaning
Newton's Universe Theory of Gravitation is a scientific theory developed by Sir Isaac Newton that explains that the planets are held in orbit around the Sun by gravity.
About Newton's Universal Theory of Gravitation
- Before Newton scientists had many different ideas about how planets were held in orbit around the Sun. Some thought they were held by magnetism and others thought the planets were held in invisible crystal spheres around the Sun.
- Newton was the first to realise that the force which pulls objects to the ground on Earth might be the same as the force that keeps planets orbiting the Sun and The Moon orbiting the Earth.
