      This is a very interesting question. There are a few ways we can describe gravity using physics.

      Gravity is the force that pulls objects (that have mass) together. Albert Einstein said that gravity is different to other forces. He said that objects distort space and time around them, like how your mattress distorts when you sit on it. Then other objects moving in space feel this distorted space, and move towards the thing that distorts it.

      So Einstein would say that ‘the force of gravity’ is made by all objects in space.
