If the force of gravity somehow vanished away, why would we be sent flying into space?

Force of gravity or the gravitational force of earth is the force that we experience towards the centre of the earth.

The gravitational force (pull) of earth is responsible for holding everything near earth’s surface, it keeps us firmly on the ground.


If the force of gravity is somehow vanished away, then we would no longer be bound to the earth’s surface and would be sent flying into the space.
