The term "gravity" comes from the Latin word "gravitas," which means weight or heaviness. It was first used by Sir Isaac newton in his work on the laws of motion and universal gravitation. The term has since become commonly used to describe the force that attracts objects with mass towards each other.
Yes, gravity would still act normally in a room with all the air removed. The presence of air does not affect the force of gravity acting on objects.
Perhaps surprisingly, it is called the force of gravity.
A plant's response to gravity is called gravitropism. This is when a plant grows in response to the pull of gravity, adjusting its growth direction accordingly.
The measurement of the force of gravity is called weight.
The force with which gravity pulls an object is called its weight. This weight is determined by the mass of the object and the acceleration due to gravity at that location.
Because of gravity, anything with mass is attracted to everything else with mass.

A desk or anything else would still weigh the same, but the Moon's gravity is only one-sixth of the Earth's gravity.
yes
Yes it is true. There is no way to turn gravity off or shield anything from it, so everything is always being pulled toward everything else by gravity.
nothing, just a statement
The platypus should not be called anything else. It is just a platypus. It is not a duckbilled platypus, or any other such misnomer.
Yes. The moon's gravity pulls on the oceans in order to make tides and waves.
It will pull water down, just as it will pull anything else down, and just as on Earth.
Because the sun has more mass than anything else in our solar system. Gravity is a function of mass.
He hasn't been called anything else
Where a body has mass, there is gravity.
