Question
Which of the following are held to the Earth because of its gravity?
- Water in the oceans
- Atmosphere
- Soil
- All of the above
Hint:
Gravity pulls the object within its range.
The correct answer is: All of the above
Here the correct option will be 'd' i.e; all of the above. This is because earth's gravitational force attracts all the objects or bodies which come under the range of gravitational force whether it's water, soil or the atmosphere. It does not depend on whether the body is in contact with the ground or not.
