30. Newton saw an apple fall on the ground. According to him, there must be a force between an apple and the
carth. He expanded this idea from terrestrial to celestial and proposed that like apple, the moon is also attracted
towards the Earth. According to Newton, Moon does not fall on Earth (ike the apple does) because the Earth is
curved. The curved path of moon matches with the curved shape of the Earth. Therefore, even when the Moon
is falling towards the Earth, it does not crash on the earth. He further proposed that the gravitational force of
attraction between two bodies is proportional to their masses and inversely proportional to the square of the
distance between them.
