The further away you get from the sun, the colder it will get. As it gets colder, water will go from liquid form, to a solid form, also known as ice. Even salt water will turn to ice, once it gets cold enough.

So an ice ring will form around the earth, containing the water, once you get far enough south. This ice ring is known as Antarctica.

You can't reason someone out of a position they did not reason themselves into.

How does gravity work?

If you mean gravitation, no one has any idea - from the dullest of the dull to the most credentialed and accomplished physicist.

Gravity (a scientific law, millennia old), on the other hand - is another matter entirely.

Why do things fall?

Because they weigh more than the media they displace. Weight is an intrinsic and inexorable property of matter, and not imbued by magical "fields" of perpetually (3+ centuries now) mysterious and completely imaginary (at best) composition and mechanism.

why do other planets have more or less gravity than earth

Do they? Or do you just believe that they do because someone told you that was a fact? Because you saw someone playing an astronaut hit a golf ball on the tv?

In my view, and that of our ancestors, the planets we see in the heavens are nothing like the earth we stand on. They are wandering stars; luminaries. They are above us, not below. They are not giant rocks or balls of gas. Admittedly, i know how insane that sounds to most.

or does weight magically change depending on where the weight exists in space ?

No, weight remains more or less constant. Effective weight (what we commonly/colloquially refer to as weight : i.e. measured on a scale) varies with many factors - most notably buoyancy - but its intrinsic/actual weight generally does not. Although a battleship floats on water or a dirigible measures 0 when placed on a scale, that does not make their actual weight any less phenomenal or different than the materials they are built/composed of.

Things fall, as they are more dense than the medium they are surrounded by. A example is Helium, which is less dense than air, so instead of falling, it goes upward, until it finds it relative buoyancy level.

Gravity is a theory about how two object attract each other, based on their mass, and it never been proven. As a example electromagnetism (static electricity) is a much stronger force then what they claim gravity is (100.000 times stronger or something like that), and you can not control for if you are detecting electromagnetism or gravity, if running experiments.

(Electromagnetism - the force we know best - is 10 to the 36th power stronger than Gravity. That's 10,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 times stronger!

From google.)

So how do these things determine which direction is "down" without a force pulling them from that direction?

When you have a force pushing them down. That force, we call weight.

Without any force at all, of course you have no down at all.

That is based on the density of the medium it is surrounded by. The more dense a thing is, and it will go down, if it is less dense then the medium it is surrounded by, it will go up. If an object finds it relative buoyancy level, it will neither move up or down, unless an external force is applied to it.

The north is far enough away from the sun, that it freezes. The north is at the center of the circular path that the sun makes above our head. While a place like Australia is directly above the most souther path of the sun, having the sun daily right above it for 3-4 months a year. While the suns most northern path is around Hong Kong in China.

Another thing that came to my attention, is that the average elevation of Mongolia is 1580 meters above the sea level. Whatever parts in northern China that gets cold, could be because of the elevation.

The Gobi is overall a cold desert, with frost and occasionally snow occurring on its dunes. Besides being quite far north, it is also located on a plateau roughly 910–1,520 m (2,990–4,990 ft) above sea level, which contributes to its low temperatures.
