First off that’s isn’t biology.

But basically the center of gravity is like a magic spot on an object where all the weight is piled up. It’s a special spot that tells us where the object is heaviest. Sometimes the magic spot is in the middle of the object, but sometimes it’s not. We can find out where the magic spot is by hanging the object from two different places and seeing where it balances. Scientists have special books that tell them where the magic spot is for different shapes of objects. Does that make sense?
