  That in interesting question. Without gravity we would be bound to the surface of the earth and float away.

  We depend on gravity to hold so many things down — cars, people, furniture, pencils and papers on your desk, and so on. Everything not stuck in place would suddenly have no reason to stay down, it would start floating. But it’s not just furniture and the like that would start to float. Two of the more important things held on the ground by gravity are the atmosphere and the water in the oceans, lakes and rivers. Without gravity, the air in the atmosphere has no reason to hang around, and it would immediately leap into space. This is the problem the moon has — the moon doesn’t have enough gravity to keep an atmosphere around it, so it’s in a near vacuum. Without an atmosphere, any living thing would die immediately and anything liquid would boil away into space.
  
  In other words, no one would last long if the planet didn’t have gravity.
