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.

How does Pluto have a moon if it has weak gravity?

Pluto's moon, Charon, was likely formed from a giant impact early in the Solar System's history. Gravity can still hold onto smaller objects like moons, even if the main body has relatively weak gravity. The size and distance of Charon from Pluto are also factors that allow it to remain in orbit around Pluto.
