Why does Gradle need to get online so often?

I was wondering what it is that makes Gradle sync dependencies online so often. Once the requested dependency is downloaded, why can't I use Gradle without an internet connection. I know there's an off line mode option in Android Studio, but that's not really what I want, I have no problem with it downloading dependencies when I request them, it's the consecutive dependency "syncing" that I find bothersome. So, my question would be, why does it need to sync dependencies so often when I'm already asking for a framework's specific version number? (the syncing would make sense if I did something like 2.1.+, but I'm not doing that)

Thanks in advance

How often is it syncing? I understood, that it's "only" syncing once per day.

Gradle will once per day (by default) connect to the artifact repository to see if there is a more recent version.

Other than the source of the quote I never found a reason to those constant new version checks.
