About this Simulation

This simulation models Earth's gravitational field and potential energy distribution. Learners can visualise how gravity varies with distance, explore field lines and equipotential surfaces, and examine the relationship between gravitational force and potential. Interactive controls allow real-time manipulation of parameters to observe dynamic changes.

Learning objectives: Understand how gravitational fields are represented and how potential relates to field strength | Analyse how gravitational force and potential vary with distance from Earth | Apply mathematical relationships between gravity, mass, and distance in practical scenarios
