      so we know which way is up and which is down. it we had no gravity we would have no mass and we would all float away into space.

    Gravity is one of the furthest reaching forces in the universe. It makes the earth go round our sun (making seasons) it makes our earth spin (making days) it makes our earth rounded, (meaning gravity is about the same everywhere on earth). It also means that the earth is heavy enough to hold an atmosphere, which is the air you breathe. So gravity is not only important for keeping our feet on the ground but in all sorts of ways!
