unlike friction, gravity relies on a natural source. Gravity happens naturally, but friction happens when a force that opposes motion between any surfaces that are touching.

Answer:

Friction is when a force is applied or done by weight dragging onto something.

Step-by-step explanation:

Gravity is when an object is getting pulled toward the center of what is attracting it. And applied force is when someone/sommething is applying force.
