Question

Newton discovered that gravity behaves differently in space than it does on Earth. true or false?

Answer 1

Yes. It is true. Gravity behaves differently than on earth. In-fact, as we go above the earth surface the gravity decreases. Gravity as we go above the earth surface can be calculated using following formula:

g' = g(1-2h/R)

Hence, it is true that the gravity behaves differently than on earth.
