Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
What would be the outcome of gravitational pull disappearing from earth?
A
Objects would never leave the earth’s surface
B
Objects would constantly spin on the earth’s surface
C
Objects would constantly bounce on the earth’s surface
D
Objects on Earth would be unable to stay on the earth’s surface
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -If the Earth’s gravity did just suddenly disappear we would no longer have a force keeping us on the ground. The Earth would keep spinning, as it does, but we would no longer move with it; instead we would move in a straight line, upwards.

Detailed explanation-2: -If the Earth’s gravity is lost, all items held to the Earth’s surface by gravity would float away. That includes the atmosphere, water, people, cars and animals. If an object were secured strongly to the Earth, it would probably remain attached.

Detailed explanation-3: -Objects would no longer be drawn toward each other, because there would be no sloping surface for them to fall down. Instead, they would fly off in whatever direction gravity was keeping them from going.

Detailed explanation-4: -What would the world be without gravity? The absence of gravity would destroy the planet itself, according to Masters. “The Earth would probably fall apart and these parts would float out into space”, says the scientist. The Sun would have the same fate.
