Why is gravity an example of a scientific law?

Gravity can be an example of scientific law because of the fact that it has been proven over and over, again and again. While a theory is proven by evidence, it can be disproved. Laws rarely change. Although there are theories about gravity as well. The difference is a theory explains why it happens while a law lets us calculate a way to find what happened. In Newton's Law of Universal Gravitation, the formula will allow you to calculate the gravitational pull of the Earth and what ever you dropped for instance. However Einstein's Theory of General Relativity explains why whatever you dropped fell. So it depends what you mean by gravity being a law. It can be both depending on if your using it to prove something or to explain why that force occurs. :)

Because it is a basic concept that defines a constant and **universal **behaviour of nature, **gravity **is seen as an illustration of a scientific law.
Scientific laws are succinct formulations that precisely explain a natural occurrence and are the result of in-depth observation and investigation. Einstein's theory of general **relativity **or Newton's law of universal gravitation both use the concept of gravity to explain how mass-containing objects interact with one another in space.
It offers a mathematical **framework **that enables researchers to perform precise projections and estimates about celestial body motion, the behaviour of things close to the surface of the Earth, and the structure of the cosmos.
The fact that gravity is recognised as a **scientific **rule is a reflection of the fact that it is widely accepted and has been shown to have practical applications.

Gravity is a scientific law because it consistently predicts the behavior of masses attracting each other under specific conditions. Newton's Law of Universal Gravitation mathematically describes this phenomenon and has been repeatedly confirmed through observation. While a law explains what happens, theories seek to explain why, such as Einstein's Theory of General Relativity addressing the underlying mechanics of gravity.
