  <abstract>Explores the invisible but powerful forces of physics that affect everything on Earth. Aimed at young readers, the book explains how gravity, motion, friction, air resistance, and lift work in everyday situations.

Using real-life examples like birds flying, skydivers falling, cars moving, and astronauts floating in space, the book helps readers understand how these forces interact with the world around us. It connects science concepts to things children can see and experience, making learning both fun and practical.

Bright photographs, simple explanations, and a helpful glossary and index make this nonfiction book an engaging introduction to physical science.</abstract>
