The article gives an overview of four tests of general relativity. The first three are known as the classic tests; prediction of gravitational redshift, perihelion precession of Mercury and Sun's deflection of light via gravity. They were already introduced by Albert Einstein himself. The fourth test, while also predicted a long time ago, hasbeen recently verified due to the development of gravitational wave detectors. A description of the physics behind these experiments and the methodology used are presented. While this article focuses mainly on four, many other experiments and tests were conducted, as general relativity was and still is rich with experimental predictions.
