One day while Newton was sitting in his garden under apple-tree, he saw apple fall to ground. Of course, fall of apple is very common thing. Great many people before Newton had seen apple fall to ground, but they had never taken trouble to investigate such everyday occurrence. Newton was first man to ask: "Why does apple fall to ground? What makes it fall? Why does it not go up into sky? Or why does it not go sideways when it leaves tree?"

He thought matter over for long time. It took him many years to solve problem. At last he found out that earth pulls all things towards its centre, and that this was reason why apple had fallen towards earth and not away from it.

Newton also found that sun attracts earth and all planets, and that each planet attracts other planets, just in same way as earth attracts apples.
