Answer
Gravity, as we know it today, was not described by Brahmagupta in 628 CE. However, he did describe a concept called "gurutvakarshan," which translates to "heaviness-attraction." This concept suggested that objects fall to the ground due to their weight and that the heavier an object, the faster it falls. While not a complete understanding of gravity, it was an early attempt to explain the phenomenon.
