About this Simulation

This interactive model allows students to explore Earth's gravitational field and how gravitational forces vary with distance from Earth's centre. Users can adjust positions, observe field strength changes, and visualise the invisible forces shaping motion around our planet through dynamic, real-time simulation.

Learning objectives: Understand how gravitational field strength varies with distance from Earth | Visualise gravitational field patterns and their effects on objects | Apply gravitational concepts to predict forces and motion in real-world contexts
