I'll tell you how I learned about gravity.... by choosing to study Physics as a GCSE, and later reading numerous books by learned and intelligent men who try to bring enlightenment to the ignorant....
As a starter for 10 I'll link some sites that explain gravity below, starting with the ever popular (but occasionally incorrect Wikipedia)....

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Newton%...al_gravitation
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Equivalence_principle

There are many more sites online that can explain Gravity, but happy reading with the list above.
