The Gravity of the Situation | Crash Course Astronomy

Learn how gravity plays out across the universe. In this episode, the forces of gravity at home and in space are explored. Gravity accelerates things that have mass. Objects that move along a path controlled by gravity are said to be in orbit. We also learn the different types of orbits, and what an escape velocity is.
