Curiosity Corner: If the Earth is round, why don’t people fall off?
Ever wondered why people on the 'bottom' of Earth don't fall off? It's all thanks to gravity, a powerful force pulling everything towards our planet's center. This invisible pull ensures 'down' is always towards the ground, no matter where you are. Earth's rotation also doesn't send us flying, as gravity's strength easily overcomes centrifugal force, keeping us firmly grounded.
