Every object has weight. But the center of its weight is not always in the middle of the object. If the top of an object is heavier than its bottom, it will fall over easily. We say that its center of gravity(重力) is high. But if the bottom is heavier, it won’t fall easily. Then we say that its center of gravity is low.
