Answer:

Force; down.

Step-by-step explanation:

Gravity is the mysterious force that makes everything fall down towards the Earth.

Gravity is considered to be a universal force of attraction which acts between all objects that has both mass, energy and can occupy space. Therefore, it acts in such a way as to bring objects together i.e causing the objects to fall down towards the Earth.

For example, when you throw any object up, it will naturally fall down due to the gravitational force between the Earth and the object.

Additionally, the gravity of earth makes it possible for all physical objects to possess weight.

On planet Earth, the acceleration due to gravity that all physical objects experience is 9.8 meters per seconds square.
