It depends on the angle that your string is to the ground. At a 45° angle it would take 200 ft * sqrt(2) = 282.843 feet for the hypotenuse of the triangle, for example. For any angle, it is (200 ft) / sin(angle)

What does gravity do to a kite?

Gravity is a strong force that pushes things to the ground. Unfortunately, some objects have a mass that is able to be pushed around by other forces, namely wind, and so in the case of a kite, wind takes over gravity, and flies the kite.
