Gravity bends space, and because light travels through space gravity distorts light. Actually, gravity warps spacetime, so just as space is bent, so is time. Gravity thus distorts both space and time.

That means that something gets distorted, or "twisted", due to gravity. In General Relativity, gravity will distort both space and time in ways that are hard to visualize.

Why light is diffirect due to gravity?

gravity is a distortion in space-time, and when light passes through it, the distortion acts like a lens and bends the light eg- things look twisted around a black holes event horizon because of the massive gravity


What is gravity composed of?

Gravity is not a substance. It is not "made" of anything in that sense. It is an attractive force between objects with mass caused by a distortion of spacetime.


What is the relationship between massweight and gravity?

Is gravity an exchange?

No. Our best understanding is that gravity is a distortion (curvature) in the fabric of space-time caused by the presence of mass. Mass tells space-time ow to bend and space-time tells mass how to move.


Why was the therory of relativity good?

It is "good" because it brilliantly explains Gravity in a completely new way using spacetime distortion of the four-dimensional fabric.

Did Einstein invent gravity?

No. Nobody invented gravity. it has existed since the beginning of the universe. Isaac Newton is generally credited with "discovering" gravity, as he was the first to describe it accurately: as an attractive force between all objects with mass. Einstein later refined the model of gravity to how modern physicists understand it as a distortion of time and space.
