Gravity is the force that pulls objects towards the center of the earth. Buoyancy is the force that pushes objects upwards when they are in water or air. The force of gravity and buoyancy work together to determine how an object moves in water or air.
Gravity and Buoyancy

Gravity: A force that pulls two objects together. It is the force that pulls objects towards the Earth. Buoyancy: A force that causes an object to float in a liquid or gas. The buoyancy force creates an upward pressure on the object equal to the weight of the displaced liquid or gas. Archimedes' Principle: This principle states that the buoyant force on an object is equal to the weight of the fluid that is displaced by the object. This is why some objects float and others sink.

The force of gravity decreases as you move away from the Earth's surface. Buoyancy is the force that keeps a boat floating in water. Air has buoyancy, which is why hot air balloons are able to float.
