1. Mass:
- The greater the mass of an object, the stronger its gravitational pull.
- This is because mass is a measure of the amount of matter in an object, and matter is what creates gravity.
2. Distance:
- The greater the distance between two objects, the weaker the gravitational pull between them.
- This is because gravity weakens as the distance between objects increases.
3. Presence of other objects:
- The presence of other objects between two objects can affect the strength of gravity between them.
-For example, if a third object is placed between the Earth and the Moon, it can exert a gravitational pull on both of them, which can slightly alter the strength of gravity between the Earth and the Moon.
